The 1st Maccabiah (aka The Maccabiah[1] and the White Horse Olympics[2][3]) (Hebrew: המכביה הראשונה or Hebrew: המכביאדה[1]) was the first edition of the Maccabiah, which was held in Mandatory Palestine from March 28 to April 2, 1932. The games were in commemoration of the 1800th anniversary of the Bar Kokhba revolt, a major rebellion by the Jews of Judaea Province against the Roman Empire. Despite many obstacles and setbacks, the first Maccabiah was regarded as a great success. Poland led the scoreboard, the United States was second, and Austria was third.
