zio-Joe to give "jewish olympics" "presidential" treatment

History at the Maccabiah Games

The Maccabiah Games, often referred to as the Jewish Olympics since its founding in the 1930s, attract thousands of Jewish athletes from dozens of countries, who compete in several Olympic sports. With their narrow focus on Jewish athletes, the games don't usually make international headlines.

But Biden — a huge sports fan — is about to give the Maccabiah a presidential-sized boost.

Israeli media is reporting that he will interact with athletes at the games' opening ceremony on Thursday evening, likely the first-ever appearance by a U.S. president at such an event. He would be accompanied by Lapid, Israeli President Isaac Herzog — and a security apparatus large enough to significantly disrupt the opening parade.
