ur annual end-of-summer ritual begins
next week with the JCC Maccabi Youth
Games taking place at sites all around
the United States.
For most teenage Jewish participants, the
competitions and the socializing receive equal
billing on their Maccabi agendas.
This week's cover story focuses on one sport
— volleyball — in an effort to get a taste of the
teens and the Games. We hope you enjoy this
glimpse into 18 unique individuals, their volun-
teer coaches and the annual joy that is the
Maccabi Games.
