Established in 1965, the Maccabi Tel Aviv Weightlifting Division rapidly improved the status of this ancient sport in Israel. The team was uniquely prominent due to focusing on correct, efficient work and forging team spirit.
In 1970, the team was joined by David Berger of blessed memory, who was murdered with 10 of his co-members of the Israeli Olympic team at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. The gym has a memorial plaque dedicated to the memory of David Berger.
