One of the most difficult years in our history is coming to an end.
Although the institutional, sporting, social and cultural balance of our Federation and in an unforgettable setting of the XV Pan American Maccabee Games Buenos Aires 2023 would make us close the year with joy and happiness; We cannot stop thinking about the 129 kidnapped people who are still in the hands of terrorism, which burst into our lives that fateful October 7, so that our lives changed forever.
Today we toast with broken hearts, seeking to heal them by continuing with our lives, our activity, without hiding, facing terrorism and the complicit silence of much of the world, which showed once again, almost 100 years later, that anti-Semitism was not eradicated and forces us to continue educating, fighting and taking care of ourselves at every step.
Today, for this 2024 that begins, we demand the immediate liberation of our people; We ask that once this madness is over, we can live in peace in Israel and in the diaspora.
We wish our clubs, their members and all Maccabean families a new year with health, sport and living in community.
Happy 2024
