The Maccabees were Jewish rebel warriors and heroes of the Chanukkah story. Maccabee means "Hammer" and has became a symbol of physical might, spiritual strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The logo was design for the the Fitness and Wellness department at the Jewish Community Alliance of Jacksonville (JCA). Each month the community center picks and recognizes a member with an inspiring story or achievement. That chosen member is named the JCA's Maccabee of that month.
