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.
