Message from Jeffrey Schulman, Team USA Manager
Greetings from Santiago, Chile on Day 4 of the 13th
Pan American Maccabi Games!
Today marks the halfway point of this amazing Maccabi
experience for our athletes, coaches, staff, and supporters. All of us who were here in Santiago 12
years ago for the 10th Pan American games had high hopes for another
great set of games and our high expectation have been met and exceeded. The city of Santiago has been an amazing
backdrop and the Chilean organizers have done a remarkable job of managing the
thousands of logistical details needed to put on a successful event of this
magnitude. From the magic and
emotion of the Opening Ceremony to the energy and vibrancy displayed every day
at the Estadio Israelita Maccabi (EIM), Team USA has been treated to an
incredible four days of sport, culture, and most importantly, Jewish Pride.
At all of the venues where our athletes are competing, Team
USA is off to a great start.
Several medals have already been awarded in Gymnastics, Swimming, Judo,
Golf, and Chess and many of our other sports are preparing to enter into the
medal rounds of competition. Our
athletes and coaches are representing the United States with class and the
highest level of sporting conduct.
At the same time, they’re enjoying the opportunity to interact with
Jewish athletes from around the world in a way that can only be found at a
Maccabi event.
All of us are looking forward to a major New Years Eve
celebration tonight at the EIM, more competition tomorrow, followed by a
games-wide Kabbalat Shabbat tomorrow night and a welcome day of rest on
Saturday.
On a more personal level, I couldn’t be more thankful for
the opportunity to help lead this incredible delegation of proud Jewish
athletes, staff and supporters.
Thanks to all of you, both here in Santiago and those cheering us on
from abroad, for all that you’re doing to make this such powerful experience
for Team USA.
Jeff Schulman
Team USA Manager
