Each year, the Krakow JCC runs its major fundraiser, the Ride For The Living (RFTL), in which 250 supporters ride bikes 60 miles from Auschwitz to Krakow. For those supporters outside of Poland, satellite events are set up so others can join in this project virtually. On July 12 from 11:30 am to 12:45 pm, our MOL Daffodil Delegation group will be participating in the RFTL through a Spin Class Satellite Event at the CycleBar Dunwoody, here in Atlanta.
We’ll be riding in a powerful tribute to Jewish resilience and renewal.
At the Krakow JCC Jewish life has been reborn and thriving for almost two decades. Today, 80 years after the Holocaust, JCC Krakow is home to 1,200 members, including 55 Holocaust survivors, dozens of young families, children attending the first Jewish preschool in Krakow since the war, and an entire movement of young people just now discovering their family's long-suppressed Jewish heritage.
This community’s strength reaches far beyond its gates: JCC Krakow has supported more Ukrainian refugees than any other organization of its kind in the entire world. Having been victims only 80 years ago, this community has a special understanding of the responsibility to save others, and they’ve now supported over 500,000 Ukrainians since Russia’s invasion.
We would be grateful for your support as we embark on this physical and spiritual journey to uplift the JCC’s mission of building a vibrant, welcoming and compassionate community.
