Seven members of Warren Levi Karate, Levi and his cousin Jason Upcroft are headed to the 20th World Maccabiah Games, which will take place July 4 to 17 in Israel. The games will include 10,000 athletes, 3,000 events in 47 sports and 2,100 medals will be presented to competitors from 80 countries.

Aliza Abramson and Rebecca Obstfeld are in the open women’s division. Menachem Feierman Akiva Fink, Dylan Saltzman, and Upcroft will compete in the junior boys division. Amit Ziv is in the men’s division. Levi is in the master’s division.

Yonatan Schultz and Dr. Dennis Feierman, Menachem’s father, made the team but will not compete. Schultz is on his way to becoming a New York City police officer and Feierman previously injured his shoulder. This is the first time that nine members of the same dojo — and a father and son —made the team, according to Maccabi USA officials.
