But that didn't happen, because the entire family packed their bags and followed Amy, 15 and her sister Laurie, 16, to Cleveland to watch them compete. For the Adelman family, the Maccabi games have become a family affair. Amy and Laurie Adelman were both members of the Columbus delegation to the Cleveland Games this summer. Amy, a ninth grader at Bexley High School, played on the Columbus soccer team. "We won the first game. After that we lost bad. But it didn't matter — we had a great time there anyway," she said.. Amy is not a newcomer to the Maccabi Games. She played on the Columbus delegation's basketball team at the St. Louis Regional Games two years ago. Her eyes light up when she talks about how much fun she's had at these past games and how exciting she is for columbus to host next summer's Regional Games. Laurie,; a tenth grader at Bexley High School, filled in on the soccer team when they needed an extra player. "I played more than I thought I would. It was a lot of fun, by my sport was the 5K cross country. That's where I won my silver medal." Laurie's favorite memory ofthe games in Cleveland was not only winning the silver medal but having the entire Columbus delegation there cheering her on. "It's great how everyone comes out to cheer everyone ejse on. It's one of the ways you make new friends." Their dad Barry, who is an avid basketball player at the JCC, is very supportive of his daugthers' decisions to participate in the games. "It's an excellent opportunity for them —- the games don't focus on sports, but rather on sportsmanship. It's frustrating some times, watching them lose, but you wish them the best and hope for the best. And you know that no matter what the outcome, they're having a great time playing and making new friends," he noted. "I loved watching my kids with all the other Jewish kids," their mom, Debbie, recalled. "It reminds me ofthe time when I was in Israel, standing on Ben Yehuda Street, among fellow Jews. Wow, what a feeling that was! That's the same feeling I got watching the games in Cleveland.

I sat next to a family from England, who were watching their daughter compete, and I knew that even though we were from completely different places, we were thinking the same thoughts and feeling the same emotions. "I would have paid anything for them to go and be a part of this," Debbie added. "These are opportunities to be taken advantage of, because they just don't come around often enough. And I'm really glad that Barry and I had the chance to be there with them." Debbie stressed the fact that you don't have to be a good athlete to be involved with the games. "You just have to want to get out there and meet people and participate. Everyone is happy for each other, whether you win or not," she said. All the athletes stay with local families in order to truly feel a part of the local Jewish community. "I felt very comfortable in Cleveland," Laurie said. "The games were more social than competitive. And my host family was great. They made me feel very comfortable, not like an intruder." "S^ "I loved my host family," Amy added. "They had kill's*; my age, which helped me to meet other people." Another way the athletes met each other was by trading Maccabi pins from their own see OMUL* pg. 3
