2023 Ride for the Living

Join us on Sunday, June 18^th at 10:00am for a meaningful journey in support of The JCC in Krakow’s Ride for the Living and holocaust survivors.  Ride for the Living (RFTL) is an annual bike ride from Auschwitz- Birkenau to the JCC in Krakow, Poland.  Thousands gather to commemorate those lost, as well as celebrate the rebirth of Jewish life in Poland.  Join your local community for a satellite ride at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades- an inspirational 80-minute stationary bike ride featuring our JCC instructors. Together, we unite our Jewish communities both here in New Jersey and in Krakow, Poland for a memorable experience.  We will never forget. 

This not-to-be-missed experience supports the JCC in Krakow and Holocaust education and awareness at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades.

The ride is sponsored by the Rubach Family and is named for Leon Rubach z"l, who survived the Holocaust as a hidden child in Poland. Proceeds support the JCC in Krakow, Poland and Holocaust education and awareness at the Kaplen JCC.
