The 2024 Maccabi Junior Carnival kicked off in Sydney with an uplifting opening ceremony at Moriah College on January 16, where 411 Jewish children from NSW/ACT, Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland and New Zealand were warmly welcomed.

Maccabi NSW president Amanda Penkin said, “We are thrilled to have every one of you here, as we embark on a week filled with laughter, camaraderie and the boundless energy of young sports enthusiasts.

“To the parents, thank you for your child’s participation – your encouragement plays a crucial role in nurturing a love of sport, and the forming of community bonds that, now more than ever, are so vital.”
