The Hazon NY Environmental Bike Ride

Since 2000, Hazon has hosted the annual Jewish Environmental Bike Ride for 1900 participants across North America. The rides offer an outdoor immersion experience and brings people together for a relaxing Shabbat celebration followed by a fully supported two-day bike ride. The rides have raised over $1.5 million dollars for Hazon and Jewish environmental organizations and projects in the United States and Israel. To donate to our team, please visit our Hazon donation page!

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the New York Ride! To read more about the ride, please visit the Hazon website.
