Beth Am partners with Chai Cycle, a Jewish community whose members find meaning and experience Jewish community through bicycling and text study. If you like Jewish text, ideas, and stimulating conversation, this is the cycling community for you!

In October, join us for a 30ish-mile ride along Junipero Serra, then out and back along Canada Rd, then back through Portola Valley/ Woodside, and returning along Arastradero Rd — approximately 1,300 ft of climbing!

Meet in the lower parking lot of Congregation Beth Am at 8:30 AM to prepare to set out by 8:45 AM. Must bring a helmet, water bottle, and tire change kit.

For more information and/or to RSVP, please contact Beth Am member, Rachel at Rachel.fish@gmail.com, (510) 495-5764.

*Typically, the group rides 12-15 miles, stops for a 30-minute conversation/text study, and then continues to ride for another 10-15 miles. Non-riders join for the conversation and to bring coffee and nosh. Recent discussion topics have included:

• What does Judaism say about IVF?
• Praying with Your Feet: Finding the Courage to Speak and Act
• Joseph, Climate Change, & the Santa Ana Winds: Fire & Liability in Jewish Tradition
