These games are referred to as the Jewish Olympics and are held in Israel every 4 years. Jews from different countries participate and represent their countries in this event. The games are named after a Jewish family who fought against the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Hellenistic Seleucid dynasty and established Jewish independence in the land of Israel for about 100 years (from 165 BC to 63 BC).
