Montana Tucker, a Jewish-American singer, actress, dancer, influencer, and activist with over 14 million social media followers, is expected to perform at the Maccabiah opening ceremony, emcee the Gala event, and help promote the Games.
Tucker, a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, is a powerful advocate against antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment worldwide. Since October 7, her pro-Israel videos have garnered millions of views, establishing her as a leading voice for Jewish solidarity.

During her visit to Kfar Maccabiah, Tucker explored the inspiring journeys of trailblazing Jewish athletes, met members of the Maccabi Sports Experience basketball team—a gap-year program for young adults from around the world—and shared a moving encounter with Limor Weizman, the widow of Lior Weizman, a triathlete tragically murdered on October 7 whose story is featured in our new exhibition UNBROKEN.

"I'm excited to join Maccabiah 2025!", Tucker shared. "This is more than a sporting event - it's an opportunity to show the world the unity and resilience of the Jewish people. Through sports, we can fight antisemitism and present Israel for what it is: a beautiful, diverse, and peace-seeking country. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, it is important for me to promote Jewish solidarity and unity, thus demonstrating our resilience as people in these turbulent times. I believe together with the Maccabiah team, we can connect Jews worldwide and strengthen the sense of community and belonging".
