In summer 2013 in Israel, there will be a big event called "Maccabiah" – it's something like Jewish Olympics.
The Israel Sport Orienteering Association wants to put orienteering in the Maccabiah for the first time, and are searching for Jewish orienteers from all over the world.
The Maccabiah Sports Committee has agreed to include the sport of
orienteering in the games, provided we submit a list of 40 Jewish (non-Israeli) orienteering athletes by
August 22, 2011. If you are interested in supporting this endeavor, read the invitation in the
PDF attachment and respond as requested there.
