Bar and Bat Mitzvahs
Many bar and bat mitzvah youth choose to integrate our Rides into their experience of becoming a Jewish adult. For more information regarding b’nai mitzvah, contact CAride@hazon.org.
Reasons to Choose a Bike Ride

- Prepare, train and work towards accomplishing another layer of challenge to your rite of passage.

- The Ride is an incredible fun, outdoor way to make a difference!
- Your whole family can be involved in the training and participation.

The Shabbat experience was many things for us. A chance to talk with our kids about new ways to do things, a chance to see how other Jews celebrate, a chance to share some new experiences, and celebrate with a new community and as someone who doesn’t love sitting in services, I felt this weekend gave me a full sensory immersion into Jewish environmental issues and opened my eyes to some new concepts.Mike Lieberman, 42, father of two boys
