Cicurel Special to the Jewish News W e have filled this special column with everything you need to know to be a Maccabi athlete, artist, volunteer and home hospitality family. But why would you take time out of your busy week? Just in case you missed the why — by being involved in the JCC Maccabi Games & ArtsFest you are participating in the world's largest annual event for Jewish youth. Who knows? You might just find yourself years down the road living on a college campus with your Maccabi teammates. The roommates: Jared Kohlenberg (second from right) Yale Williams (third from left) and Seth Goldman (far left) at Michigan Stadium. In the summer of 2010, Jared Kohlenberg decided to take part in his third Maccabi Games on the basketball team. His first experience had been on the Detroit home court in 2008 followed by San Antonio in 2009. "I had enjoyed myself too much to pass up another opportunity. I also understood this was the closest I would ever get to becoming an Olympic athlete, and that I probably couldn't challenge LeBron James for a spot on the men's national team:' Kohlenberg said. "I made a lot of friends through the Maccabi games with teammates Seth Goldman, Yale Williams, Jeremy Fishman and Omer Oppenheim." In Denver they received a silver medal and ended up playing the semi-final game with just four players for almost three-quarters of the game. "That game, to this day, is still one of the most competitive and intense games I have ever been a part of in my life:' he said. Fast-forward three years, Jared and his teammates are still the closest of friends. Williams and Goldman are now room- mates with Kohlenberg at the University of Michigan along with Alex Vieder, Ryan Stern and Richey Capriccioso. Playing together and competing together brought them together as great friends. "The Maccabi Games were more than just a competition for me; they were a place to connect with other Jews from across the country and across the world, and to represent my city and state," Kohlenberg said. Kohlenberg still keeps in touch with many Maccabi athletes from around the country. "For Yale, Seth and I; we are able to recount memories of the Denver Maccabi Games and to appreciate how the team we played on four years ago now brings us together as roommates at the University of Michigan:' ❑ The JCC Maccabi Games & ArtsFest offers the community many ways to be involved.
