News Summary:
The Maccabi Women’s Forum (MWF) recently expanded its global impact, officially launching its Budapest Women’s Forum on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2026. This inaugural event gathered over 70 participants in a renovated synagogue, contributing to a growing community of more than 150 women connected through its mailing list. Earlier in March, the top leadership of the movement, including Maccabi presidents, vice presidents, and heads of confederations, convened at Kfar Maccabiah for the inaugural MWU President’s Forum, a three-day strategic summit led by President Michael Siegal, Chairman Amir Peled, Maccabiah Chairman Assaf Goren, and CEO Roy Hessing. Concurrently, over 400 Evangelical pastors and Jewish community leaders from Argentina, alongside Maccabi movement representatives and Israeli officials, participated in the "Argentina Loves Israel" seminar. Promoted by MWU’s Department of Education, this gathering expressed unity, support for Israel, and a shared commitment to combating antisemitism. Previously, on January 31, a new exhibition, "Jewish Sports in Poland," launched at the World Jewish Sports Museum in Kfar Maccabiah in partnership with the Embassy of Poland in Israel, ahead of International Holocaust Memorial Day, shedding light on Jewish sports history between the two World Wars. That same month, 350 young Maccabi leaders from Maccabi Tzair Argentina arrived in Israel for a 20-day “Bekef Hadracha” leadership training program, a joint effort with Maccabi Argentina clubs FACCMA Argentina and Yachad Maccabi Programs.
