On June 23, 2026, the Maccabiah Torch embarked on a nationwide journey across Israel, connecting dozens of local communities as a symbol of unity, resilience, pride, and hope, with the modern relay inspired by a 1931 motorcycle journey where Maccabiah emissaries traveled Europe. Previously, on April 29, the Jewish community of Davie, Florida, gathered at the David Posnack Jewish Community Center for an evening honoring captivity survivor Alon Ohel, drawing 500 attendees. On March 30, the Maccabi Women’s Forum (MWF) announced the official launch of the Budapest Women’s Forum, which held its inaugural event on International Women’s Day, March 8, in a renovated synagogue, bringing together over 70 participants and connecting more than 150 women through its mailing list. Earlier in March, the movement's leadership, including presidents, vice presidents, and heads of confederations, gathered at Kfar Maccabiah for the inaugural three-day MWU President’s Forum, a strategic summit led by MWU President Michael Siegal, Chairman Amir Peled, Maccabiah Chairman Assaf Goren, and CEO Roy Hessing. Also in March, over 400 Evangelical pastors from Argentina, alongside Jewish community leaders, Maccabi movement representatives, and Israeli officials, participated in the "Argentina Loves Israel" seminar, promoted by MWU's Department of Education, to express unity, support for Israel, and a commitment to combating antisemitism.
