The CIM 2025 ride is complete. Thank you all so much for your contributions to this important organization. Altogether you contributed $11,699, which sum I matched for a total contribution to Beit Halochem of $23,398.

It was my third CIM ride. Each time I am impressed with the facilities and programs Beit Halochem offers disabled and injured Israeli war veterans and victims of terror.

Even more moving however are the stories these same veterans tell. What comes through clearly each time I go is how much strength and healing the veterans receive not just from the facilities and programs but even more from the support, understanding and friendship from fellow veterans and members of Beit Halochem. To a person they describe Beit Halochem as their Beit.

For those of you who have not yet given or are thinking of adding to their donation I will be matching donations until the end of the year. The Be’er Sheva facility currently has 6000 members and are expecting to add 15,000 more, and that is just Be’er Sheva; so the need for additional funds is critical.

Thank you once again for donating to my ride.
