PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sivan (Krems) Sack, USA Open Tennis Team Chair is proud to name Jacquelyn Rosen as Head Coach for the 2025 Maccabiah. Rosen represented Maccabi USA as an athlete in the 1997 and the 2001 Maccabi Games in Israel. Rosen attributes her first Maccabi experience to helping her make Aliyah in 1998 and representing Israel on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour.

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.”

Maccabi USA is seeking Jewish tennis players to represent the United States at the 2025 Maccabiah Games in Israel, July 1-22, 2025. In addition to the Open (18+) category, Maccabiah USA will field teams in the U16, U18 and Masters (35 thru 80+) categories. Applications can be submitted through Maccabi USA.

According to Sivan (Krems) Sack, Team Chair, “The 2025 Maccabiah Games in Israel is a celebration of Jewish unity, resilience, and athletic achievement. The unique experience fosters solidarity within the global Jewish community and strengthens the connections between Jews worldwide and the state of Israel.”
