Makabi Prague

The sports organization Makabi Prague, founded in 1906, had a Zionist orientation. The gymnastics and sports movement supported the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine and wanted to prepare its members ideologically and physically for the national rebirth.Until 1942, its headquarters were in Křižovnická 1048/3, where young people of Jewish faith met and prepared for emigration to Palestine. In addition to ideological lessons, Hebrew was also taught.

The members took part in sports in various gyms and sports halls in the center of Prague. In 1942, Makabi Prague was banned.
