Fred Cohen, brings home a Silver Metal and is inducted into the Israeli Softball Hall of Fame!

Fred Cohen, is no stranger to the Jewish Olympics, since 2003, Fred and his family have traveled to Chile, Israel, Argentina, and Brazil for the most coveted games in Jewish Sports, the Maccabi Games. Representing your country among thousands of athletes from across the globe, is life changing, especially marching in with fellow Jewish athletes from Hong Kong, and Cuba, just to name a few new countries attending this year's games in Israel. Fred Cohen, National Sports Chairman and avid Fast Pitch Softball player, had no idea that the International Softball Committee would  honor him this year, and induct him into the Hall of Fame. 

Several other local athletes attended the games and won metals too, Ellie Maddenberg, won a Silver for Karate, and Mike Goldberg, Masters Hockey brought home a Gold!
