The most unique Israeli experience that you can imagine!

Take a ride through Israel while helping the people of Sha'ar HaNegev and the entire state of Israel

Sha'ar HaNegev is San Diego's Jewish community sister region. Our friends in Sha'ar HaNegev and Israel need our help. A new school must be built that will provide the students with protection from Kassam missiles.

Construction of the new school will start soon, but help is needed now more than ever

"To close the school would be to close the area, and to close the area would be to close Israel."
Aharale Rothstein, Principal, Sha'ar HaNegev School

"I can think of no more important project in Israel, than supporting the education and existential well being of the youth of the Sha'ar HaNegev/Sederot region. They have withstood constant rocket bombardment for over seven years and they need our help to stay in this region of Israel – borders that were guaranteed by the UN in 1947."
Larry Acheatel

"In 2009 we set out to accomplish four things with the trip: 1) to raise money for the school, 2) to increase awareness and understanding for the situation in Israel and particularly Sha'ar HaNegev, 3) to support our friends in Sha'ar HaNegev and to help to build the relationship between our communities, and 4) to have a wonderful and safe trip and for everyone involved to become an ambassador for Israel and our sister community. In all four areas, 2009 was an overwhelming success and I am certain that 2010 will be even better!"
Rick Kornfeld, Del Mar, CA

"I have traveled to Israel many times for both work and pleasure. I have never experienced Israel the way I did on the Bike Israel 2009 trip. I saw things from a perspective that was unique, experienced the beauty and a slice of Israeli life, and built relationships that will remain with me forever. I've traveled to every corner of the planet and this may be the most memorable and meaningful trip of them all."
Leo Spiegel, Rancho Santa Fe

"This was really a dream come true. I loved the entire trip but the highlight was cycling out of Jerusalem. Behind me was the beautiful white city and as I flew down the hills, through the lush forests with the wind at my back, I felt so closely connected to Israel and to God."
Andi Neugarten
