Life is like riding a bicycle ...


It is with great joy and anticipation that I'm getting ready to be part of - for the second time - the Israel Ride.

When I first experienced this amazing ride, I kept telling to myself how amazing it will be to have a larger group from Atlanta. This year Team Atlanta is the largest team in the ride with 19 riders!


As you already know by now, the ride is organized by two wonderful institutions doing amazing work: The Arava Institute and Hazon. With our riding and the help of all those who donated to support us we are helping them to continue their mission.

What the riders will discover during the ride, is that more than we helping them, they will transform us by helping us seeing Israel with very different eyes and from an unique perspective. To ride through the wilderness creates a special connection with the land and with the history of our ancestors who toured and lived in many of the places we'll be riding at.

And we'll be riding with an amazing group of men and women from every corner in the US, Australia, Canada and Israel. People who share the love for the land, for biking, for the environment and for peace and coexistence in the middle east. The ride also teaches a lot to every individual about themselves. It is a true religious experience in the sense that it really challenges each rider in so many ways.

Stay tuned to listen to the amazing stories, and inspirational ideas that I know we'll come out of many of the riders. And the lessons they will learn about life.

After all as Einstein taught us many years ago: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving."

L'Shalom
