Welcome friends and family!
Abby and I are so proud of Elana and thought we could use this blog to share information about her Maccabiah experience. I will post news as we get it about the US Team, the opening ceremonies, television coverage, and the gymnatics events specifically. We can then use this site to provide results, pictures and hopefully even video from Isreal in real time when we get there. Enjoy!

Update - Sunday July 5th
Well, we have no pictures as of yet but we've heard from Elana several times and she is doing great. They are practicing each morning beginning at 7am and then doing a full day of touring. Practices are going well, and they are adjusting to the new equipment. Largest problem so far has been converting their vault runs from feet to meters! The touring has taken them to the caves at Beit Guvrim and through the tunnels of Old Jerusalem. Tomorrow includes shopping in modern Jerusalem and the Holocaust Museum. Accommodations "feel like camp" as they are sleeping 4 to a room and staying up too late, but it's all good!
