For the next two decades, he worked to make this idea a reality. There was no stadium, pool, or running track anywhere in British Mandate Palestine. But Yosef wasn?t deterred.There was one big problem left: there was no easy way to tell athletes about the games!The solution: Motorcycles. Riding thousands of miles, over mountains and through deserts, motorcycle brigades announced the games to the world Jewish community. In 1932, the Maccabiah Games were born.","brand":"Behrman House Inc.,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51519803097435,"sku":"9781681156958","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/maccabiah","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
