Kurzfassung:
The Brit Maccabim Atid sports club was founded inthe 1930s by immigrants who came to MandatoryPalestine from Germany. The club’s demographicmakeup and operational patterns differed fromthose of sports organizations operating in Palestineuntil then. In this paper, sports culture serves asa tool for analyzing absorption processes amongGerman immigrants. The attitude towards sportsin Yishuv society in Palestine differed from whatthe immigrants were accustomed to in Germany.In Palestine, affiliating with a sports club wastantamount to taking a political stance. In responseto this politicization of sports, the Central Europeanimmigrants began establishing sports clubs based onethnicity and national origins (Sportschaft). One suchorganization, Brit Maccabim Atid, serves as a testcase for examining social and cultural changes in thesignificance of sports in the move from one country toanother. The paper describes two sociological models,each of which examines the impact of involvementin sports on the extent to which immigrants becomeintegrated into society. Our findings indicate that thedichotomous division into these two models does notreflect the special nature of the absorption of theseimmigrants. Indeed we learned that engaging insports in an immigrant society can be a unifying andassimilative factor, and at the same time a segregatingone. The paper ends with a discussion of the declineof Brit Maccabim Atid in the 1970s.
