Team PenPal is headed to Austin! We’re excited to announce that Team Peninsula Palo Alto will be competing at the 2027 JCC Maccabi Games in Austin, Texas!
JCC Maccabi Games 2027: July 25–30, 2027 in Austin, Texas
Hosted by the Dell JCC
Every summer, Jewish teens from across North America, Israel and around the world come together for a week of Olympic-style competition, new friendships, community service and Jewish pride. Between opening ceremonies, JCC Cares service projects, evening social events and plenty of Texas-sized team spirit, it’s a summer you won’t forget, whether you’re a returning athlete or thinking about Maccabi for the first time.
Team Peninsula Palo Alto (PenPal for short) is a combined delegation from the Oshman Family JCC and the Peninsula JCC. We’ve been allotted 35 spots for Austin, which would make this one of our biggest delegations yet!
