Hazon Riders This Weekend!
July 19-21
 

 

The Hazon Cross-USA riders are coming to Mendota Heights! Hazon is a Jewish environmental non-profit that promotes sustainable agriculture, Jewish education, International hunger relief, promoting Israeli innovation, supporting Jewish non-profits, and coordinating CSAs across the country.

 

Volunteers are biking from Washington to Washington again this year to raise awareness and funds for the causes that Hazon supports.

 

There are lots of ways for you to help them out (most of which don't require a helmet):
  • Join the riders at our Beth Jacob 3rd Friday Pot Luck Kabbalat Shabbat.  

  • Come to shul on July 20 and welcome the riders to Beth Jacob. Hear a D'var Torah about Hazon & Jewish Environmentalism.   

  • Bike with the riders: The riders depart for Pepin, WI at 8:00 AM on Sunday, July 21. Join them for moral support and/or fundraising support as they promote a healthier and more sustainable Jewish community. All bikers are welcome to join them to the first rest stop (about 20 miles out) If you'd like to ride with them to lunch, a $50 donation is encouraged, and if you'd like to bike with them all day to Pepin, you can be an official part of the ride with a fundraising page, etc-registration is $50. 

"Grab life by the handlebars" and e-mail Frances at Beth Jacob to join the fun.
