Ride for the Living

Join us on Sunday, June 15, 2025 for a meaningful journey in support of The JCC in Krakow’s Ride for the Living and Holocaust survivors. Ride for the Living (RFTL) is an annual bike ride from Auschwitz-Birkenau to the JCC in Krakow, Poland. Thousands gather to commemorate those lost, as well as celebrate the rebirth of Jewish life in Poland.

This year, we are hosting three separate rides at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades:

  • 8:00am – 40-Minute Ride: Start your morning with an inspiring ride led by our JCC instructors.
  • 9:00am – 40-Minute Springsteen Ride: Ride to the powerful sounds of Springsteen, honoring the spirit of resilience and hope.
  • 10:00am – 40-Minute Ride: End the morning with another energizing 40-minute ride, uniting our community for a memorable experience.

Together, we unite our Jewish communities both here in New Jersey and in Krakow, Poland. We will never forget.

This not-to-be-missed experience supports the JCC in Krakow and Holocaust education and awareness at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades.
