The Jewish Sports Club “Makkabi” Biała Podlaska

Abstract

This article presents the history of the Jewish Sports Club „Makkabi” Biała Podlaska. It is a topic hitherto undescribed in Polish sources. The activities of the Biała Podlaska Jewish Sports Club „Makkabi” are contextualised against the background of physical culture amongst Polish Jews. The chronological scope of the article primarily covers the period from Poland’s regaining of independence in 1918 to its subsequent loss during World War II, although it also touches upon the preceding years of the Second Polish Republic. The article presents the origin of ideas and practices within the sphere of physical culture among the Jewish diaspora in Poland, as well as the process of its formation in earlier times. Jewish sport is presented as an intangible element of this ethnic group’s culture, contributing to the strengthening of identity and social position within the Second Polish Republic. The physical culture of Polish Jews is examined against the backdrop of the general characteristics of Jewish life in Poland during this period.
