IT’S RUTHI
A familiar face — at least to 
Gordon — led the Detroit 
delegation into the Maccabi 
Games opening ceremo-
ny Aug. 1 at the Del Mar 
Racetrack.
Ruthi Warburg did the 
honors.
“I had no idea Ruthi was 
going to do that,
” Gordon 
said.
Warburg and Gordon have 
been friends for years since 
they met at a pre-Maccabi 
Games meeting in 2008 in 
San Diego. Warburg was one 
of San Diego’s co-chairs and 
Gordon was Detroit’s games 
director that year.
Since then, according to 
Warburg, she and Gordon 

have “collaborated, hung out, 
cheered each other on and 
visited when there was time” 
when the San Diego and 
Detroit delegations were at the 
same Maccabi Games site, and 
they have stayed in touch on 
Facebook.
Warburg was a volunteer 
for this year’s Maccabi Games. 
She asked to work at the 
opening ceremony.
“Most of the assignments 
for leading delegations at the 
opening ceremony were ran-
dom. I specifically asked to 
lead Detroit,
” Warburg said.
“
As a delegation head, I 
know it’s really hard to grab 
any free time. I knew I would 
get to visit a bit with Karen as 
we waited to promenade out.
”
Warburg lives in La Jolla, 
a hilly, seaside neighborhood 
within San Diego. She’s a 
college consultant who helps 
students get into college.

This is the calm before a storm. Detroit delegation head Karen 
Gordon shot this photo of the Pacific Ocean about 24 hours before 
finding out the delegation’s flight home from the JCC Maccabi 
Games in San Diego had been canceled and rescheduled.
