MACCABI -The first all Jewish gymnastic club was formed in 1895 known as the Israelitische Turnverein Konstantinopel (Israelite Gymnastic Association Constantinople), it was formed by German and Austrian Jews residing in Constantinople (Istanbul – Kushta) who were unwelcome at the German gymnastic societies with their “Aryan – only” membership proclivities. Modeling themselves on the very German organization which had barred them, they adopted the slogan of the vigorous, devout, cheerful and free.Another milestone in the formation of the Jewish sport movement occurred at a meeting of the permanent committee of the Second Zionist Congress held in Basel in 1898. Dr. Max Nordau made an impassioned plea for a Muscular Judaism noting that “We Jews possess an exceptional gift for physical activity. It may by that this will appear paradoxical since we have been accustomed for generations to view ourselves in the mirror which our enemies have held up to so, and to discover any number of physical blemishes. It is true that our muscles have been weakened and that our attitudes and postures are not always satisfactory… but when Jews do engage in sport their defects vanish, their postures improve, their muscles become strong and their general health gets better”. Similarly, Herzl stressed that the derisive term coined by the anti-Semites, Judenjungen (akin to “Jewboy”), should be reversed in both form and content, and give way to the meritorious appellation Junge Juden (Young Jew). Following Herzl’s and Nordau’s call, many clubs were quickly organized. This nascent movement received an immeasurable boost with the appearance in 1900 of the first periodical dedicated entirely to Jewish sport, Die Juedische Turanzeitung, which was the official publication of the pre-eminent Jewish gymnastic club, Juedische Turnverein Bar Kochba – Berlin. Bolstered by the newspaper’s daring proclamation, the by now numerous Jewish gymnastic clubs banded together in 1903 under the umbrella organization of Die Juedische Turnerschaft (Jewish Gymnastic Association) with headquarters in Berlin. The constitution of Die Juedische Turnerschaft permitted membership to every Jewish gymnastic club that accepted that “the aim of the society is to foster gymnastics as a medium to build up physical fitness as part of the Jewish National Idea.” ****The Maccabi World Union was created at the 12th World Jewish Congress in Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia in 1921. It was then decided by the secretariat of Jewish sport leaders to form one umbrella organization for all Jewish Sports associations. The movement is named after the Maccabees (Hebrew: מכבים or מקבים, Makabim) who were a Jewish national liberation movement that fought for and won independence from Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The origin of the word is not clear but the common opinion is that the word \"Maccabi\" (מכבי) is an acronym of the biblical sentence: \"Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the mighty?\" (Exodus 15:11), in Hebrew: \"\'מי כמוך באלים י\", \"Mi kamocha ba\'elim YHWH\". The aim was: \"To foster physical education, belief in Jewish heritage and the Jewish nation, and to work actively for the rebuilding of our own country and for the preservation of our people\". Jewish sports clubs were founded in Eastern and Central Europe. The first club was the Israelite Gymnastic Association Constantinople (German: Israelitischer Turnverein Konstantinopel) founded in 1895 in Constantinople, Turkey by Jews of German and Austrian extraction who had been rejected from participating in other social sport clubs. Two years later, haGibor was formed in Phillipople, Bulgaria and 1898 saw the founding of Bar Kochba Berlin along with VAC in Budapest, Hungary. Other clubs that followed were named after “Bar Kochba” or Hebrew names such as “Hakoah” or “Hagibor” that symbolized strength and heroism. One of the basic premises behind the founding of these clubs was Jewish Nationalism. The concept was that Jews were not only a religious entity, but also one based on a common historical and social background, having special cultural and psychological concepts that have been preserved to this day, resulting in a strong recognition of collective belonging. In 1906, the first Jewish Gymnastics club was formed in Palestine. Clubs later would spring up in other cities. By 1912, all of them joined the Maccabi Federation of Israel. That same year, the first relations were established between them and their European counterparts, when a decision was taken at the Maccabi Conference in Berlin, to begin group trips to Palestine.
