Personal Reflections from The Mighty Maccabee
“Lacing up my boots one last time means more to me than just wrestling; it’s about supporting a cause that resonates deeply with my heart,” said Jeff Bukantz, the mastermind behind The Mighty Maccabee persona.

The Significance of the Maccabiah Games
The Maccabiah Games stand as the world's second-largest international sporting event, gathering over 10,000 Jewish athletes from around the globe, all vying for glory across more than 40 sports.
