MACCABI TZAIR IN THE WORLD
Maccabi World Union Youth Movement, Maccabi Tzair, is one of its pearls and a real motor of its success worldwide. Founded in 1929, and with 55 branches in the present, Maccabi Tzair brings Jewish-Zionist education to 100,000 Jewish youngsters through weekly activities, camps, in-service trainings, Regional, Continental and International Seminars – most of them under MWU Dept. of Education responsibility, and Israel Experience programs – organized by MWU Continental Depts. In terms of working together, the most successful example is the continent-wide establishment in 2005 of Maccabi Tzair CLAM youth movement, which has staged 7 successive continental seminars (the 8th upcoming March 2018), each attracting hundreds of the best madrichim from CLAM's constituent T.O.'s.

In Latin-America and Florida, USA, Maccabi Tzair and the Maccabi Youth Departments are the biggest conglomerate of Jewish-Zionist Movements nowadays, grouped under Macabi Tzair CLAM. Since its opening in 2003, MWU Dept. of Education, as established in its goals, worked without pause to establish a real network of Maccabi Tzair branches in Latin America, and after many regional and international seminars, Macabi Tzair CLAM was established during Maccabiah 2005, with the integration of over 20 Maccabi Tzair branches. Since 2005, and through the work of MWU Dept. of Education, Macabi Tzair CLAM opened and incorporated new and very active branches (to name two, Macabi Tzair Miami and Macabi Tzair El Salvador), and became the biggest Continental Youth Zionist Movement participating in Israel Experience programs.
The success of Maccabi Tzair in the world was a key factor in the integration between BBYO (B’nei Brith Young Organization) and our world youth Movement. BBYO is the largest Youth Movement in North America, with about 50,000 young members in the USA & Canada. MWU and BBYO signed a PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT which linked Maccabi Tzair with BBYO – creating the largest Jewish Youth worldwide partnership, with 150,000 involved youth. The connection started through different partnerships between BBYO and Maccabi Tzair Israel, and it keeps growing today in all international opportunities.
Maccabi Tzair, as a World Zionist Movement, is part of the family of all Youth Zionist Movements (like Beitar, B’nei Akiva, HaNoar HaTzioni, etc.). MWU Dept. of Education is the responsible of connecting World Maccabi Tzair with all the World Zionist Youth Movements, in the World Zionist Youth Movements Forum – a Forum where MWU is one of its leaders. This partnership of World Zionist Youth Movements has opened new opportunities for our Maccabi Movement, and brought new resources to organize its activities.
