The Maccabiah Games is an international Jewish athletic event similar to the Olympics. The games were first held in 1932 and occur every four years in Israel. The most recent games were held in July 2005. The Maccabiah is the fourth biggest multisport event after the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and the Universiade.
History
Originally conceived by Yosef Yekutieli, a fifteen-year-old inspired by the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games, the Games have been running since 1932 after fourteen years of development by Yekutieli and the Jewish National Fund. The first Games was opened by Tel Aviv Mayor Meir Dizengoff, with almost 400 athletes from 18 countries participating, including over 60 from Arab countries such as Syria and Egypt.
