According to David Arbit of New Jersey, who has attended other charity bike rides in Israel, “this trip is truly unique because of the Ramah educational approach. Thanks to our terrific guide, Joe Freedman, we are not only enjoying all the cycling but also learning so much about Israel.”

David is one of many parents riding with their children. His daughter Orly is a 16-year-old student at SAR High School entering her last summer as a camper (Gesher) at Ramah Berkshires.
