FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1987

a learning experience for me.
I've never been to Israel —
but it's something I know I'll
do one day, and have always
wanted to — I'm looking for-
ward to that very much."
For Jay Robinson and Jack
Front, the cultural ex-
perience was more attractive
to them than the competition,
although they both enjoy
competitive running. Both
entered the Master's half-
marathon, for runners 50
years old and over. Both have
competed on previous Mac-
cabi teams. Robinson was
general chairman for the
1984 Junior Games in
Detroit. He was a manager
for the Detroit team in Israel
in 1985, and in Toronto's
North American Junior
Games in 1986. Front, a
physical therapist, was a
trainer in 1985 and 1986.
Both will serve the Detroit
team at next month's
regional junior games in
Cleveland.
Front expressed what the
Maccabi experience means to
him: "In Israel it was being
exposed to the culture and
the language of Judaism from
a different perspective. I
think that it'll be extremely
different in a South American
country where the population
is predominantly Catholic.
I'm very sensitive to that,
growing up in a small town in
West Virginia, where in a
town of 20,000, there
might've been 35 Jewish
families. It'll be interesting
just to see the relationship of
the Jews in Caracas to the
general population."
Front agrees with Robin-
son, who said, "I'm excited to
go and run. I do like to race,
but the cultural and the
religious aspects and the
social aspects are a lot more
important to me than the
competition."
Robinson sees the games as
a celebration. "What you're

really celebrating is your
ability to do it, where for so
many years we couldn't, we
just couldn't go on a plane
and go where we wanted or do
what we wanted. To have
that kind of freedom, that's
what the games are all
about."
He added that the interna-
tional Maccabi Games "are
unique in this sense — only
with the situation of Jews in
the Diaspora can you go and
have people from all over the
world in one place like that.
One ethnic group, from all
over the world. When you go
to these games here, there'll
be 15 countries represented.
When you go to Israel there's
40 countries represented. It's
totally unique. All the dif-
ferent languages and all the
different customs of their
native countries, superimpos-
ed on their Jewishness. It's a
very interesting situation."
One of the friendships
Robinson and his family have
made through the Maccabi
Games will come full circle in
Caracas. A Venezuelan
athlete, Marcy Bittain,
stayed with Robinson's fami-
ly when she was a part of the
Venezuelan team in the 1984
Junior Games. The families
have remained in contact,
and now Robinson's children
are staying at Bittain's house
in Venezuela.
Robinson described the at-
titude of the younger athletes
at these games. "The younger
kids are quite intense about
their competition. Which is as
it should be. It is a com-
petitive thing, it's not often
that a kid is going to get a
chance to compete in a world
games of any kind . . . What
happens is, the kids get the
spirit. You're there for two
weeks and the sport does get
into its perspective. I think
that's what happens. You see
sport for what it is. It's great
between the white lines.
