Clubs from the Youth Department took part in a special program that combined the Arab and Jewish communities. The Under-12 & Under-11 teams visited Ma’alot-Tarshiha and participated in a football tournament that combined the various teams as well as a presentation about co-existence.

Maccabi Tel Aviv together with Hapoel Tarshiha, Yehuda Edri Hussan and Macabi Sektzia Ma’alot Tarshiha were the 4 clubs involved in the activity which represented teams that were made up of Arabs, Jews and some were a combination of both. The participants listened intently about the history of the city of Ma’alot Tarshiha, how Jews and Arabs live together, the present and future plans.

Following the presentation, the annual tournament in memory of Yehuda Edri z”l took place with the 4 teams under the auspices of the city as the players enjoyed learning about the values of co-existence and teamwork.
