An anticipated 120 athletes, staff, and other Maccabiah representatives, plus the M25 Maccabiah official presenters, will be on the float.

While the hurt still resonated between the floats and participants, there was something else in the ether — hope.
A total of 40,000 people are expected to participate in this year’s march.
