Hi guys - I need some help here. I'd heard of the Maccabiah before. This is the so-called Jewish Olympics - it's actually the third biggest sporting event in the world. There's not much online about it (unless you can read Hebrew I guess) so I only have the one reference to their mascot, Guri the Lion Cub:
Juniors and veterans join in 12th Maccabiah: "Athletes planted 3,000 trees in the Maccabi forest in Modi'in and Israel's postal service created a series of commemorative stamps for collectors. The 12th Maccabiah ended with a grand closing ceremony that featured a helicopter carrying the Maccabiah mascot 'Guri the Lion Cub,' intricate performances by athletes and a fireworks show."
Has anyone heard of this little dude and do you know where I can find out more? Man, I'd LOVE to get him and Shera together!
This him?

wow, my first comment. Not sure it is - he's meant to be a lion cub and your Guri Guri looks like a Yeti
