This June, we will be challenging ourselves to ride 60 miles from Auschwitz-Birkenau to JCC Krakow during the 2026 Ride For The Living.
There is a thriving Jewish community in Krakow, right in the shadow of one of the biggest atrocities in human history.
Today, JCC Krakow is a beacon of hope, reconnecting Jews to their culture and community, while also supporting Ukrainian refugees.
We are so incredibly excited to support this organization as we embark on the
11th Annual Ride For The Living!
Money raised during Ride For The Living will provide necessary support to the Jewish Community Center of Krakow, which serves as the focal point for the revival of Jewish life in Poland.
With over 1,200 Jewish members, including a Senior Club with
56 Holocaust survivors, a Hillel with almost 200 members, and the FRAJDA Preschool & Nursery (first in Krakow since the Holocaust!), Krakow’s Jewish community is flourishing.
Additionally, in the last four years, JCC Krakow has been a key partner in providing humanitarian assistance to over 450,000 Ukrainians, 98% of whom are not Jewish and hundreds of Israelis after October 7 attacks.
We hope you will consider helping make a difference in the lives of hundreds of Jews in Krakow who deserve the opportunity to flourish in a vibrant, welcoming, and modern Jewish community.
