TUCSON, Arizona — A room inside the Tucson JCC may be incomplete, but soon it will be known as Maccabi Central.One year from now, the JCC's courts, pools, and fields will be filled with Jewish athletes from North America and beyond, as Tucson will host the annual JCC Maccabi games for the first time since 2000.First played in 1982, the JCC Maccabi games could be described as the Jewish Olympics for ages twelve to sixteen.
If anyone is familiar with the games, it's Rockoff. He was in leadership in Akron, Ohio, where their local JCC hosted the 2008 games. While the JCC Maccabi games are competitive, they are more about sportsmanship, leadership, and Jewish identity.
