Motorcyclists Ride the Holy Land

Hundreds of motorcyclists plan on celebrating Israel’s 60th anniversary this spring by riding across the Holy Land, traveling to Eilat in the south from Metula in the north. The cross-country trek is the brainchild of the Israeli motorbike federation, which invited riders from sister federations in the United States, Canada and Australia. Some 700 bikers are expected to participate.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
