When asked about her motivation to coach, Jacquelyn Rosen said “after retiring from” tour she found “her calling in coaching.” Further, “to be able to coach Maccabi USA after competing in two Maccabi Games as a player is beyond a dream come true” for Rosen. “After October 7, [Rosen’s] connection, dedication, and love for Israel has only deepened.” Rosen hopes to help her players by building “that same connection” while also bringing joy to the “Israelis who have given [her] so much inspiration this past year.”

ABOUT THE MACCABIAH - The first Maccabiah was held in Israel in 1932 with athletes from 18 countries. By 2017, the games grew to include nearly 10,000 Jewish athletes from more than 60 countries, making it the second largest international multi-sport event, and one of the largest gatherings of the Jewish diaspora around the globe. Traditionally held every four years, the games have only been interrupted twice in its 90-year history: by the Second World War and more recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2022, Maccabi USA sent its largest-ever delegation of more than 1,300 to Israel. (Larger delegation than the traditional USA Olympic Team)
