The opening ceremonies for the 19th Maccabiah took place for the second time at the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem. The games officially opened by Shimon Peres. US President Barack Obama greeted the Maccabiah through a prerecorded video.[6] Prime Minister David Cameron also greeted the Maccabiah and team GB.[7] During the parade of nations, giant helium balloons with the country the delegation represented accommodated each delegation.[8] Coincidentally, the opening ceremony took place on Nelson Mandela's birthday. The South African delegation carried with them a large banner reading: "Celebrating our legacy – Mandela Day".[9]

U.S. Olympian Aly Raisman lit the Maccabiah cauldron.[10] The opening ceremonies were celebrated with a number of popular musicians such as Rami Kleinstein and Harel Skaat.[11] Additionally, the Grammy-winning, Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari and the The X Factor finalist Carly Rose Sonenclar also performed at the ceremony.[12]
