Has anybody heard of the Maccabi Games? I never had, until I got called to work some of the basketball tournament. Apparently, the Maccabi Games are sort of like the Junior Olympics for teams sponsored by Jewish organizations/synagogues/community centers. Teams compete in basketball, baseball, tennis, table tennis, among other sports. Teams are here in Springfield, Mass from California to England to Israel.

It's been a mostly positive experience so far. The coaches are like coaches always are. Some are good sports, others are idiots.

Certainly not earth-shattering news, but I'd never heard of the Maccabi Games, so I thought I'd share it. Definitely worth supporting if you get the chance.

Chuck
