Your support provides Magen David Adorn with the
equipment, medical supplies, training, ambulances,
Medicycles, and other vehicles needed to save lives
in Israel every day. More than 8.5 million Israelis are
counting on MDA's fast response — for everything from
heart attacks to terror attacks. Your Support saves lives.

-Cycle 6, sponsored Aug. 21 by
the Jewish Historical Society of
Michigan, included about 220
J-Cycle riders and about 40 volunteers,
including a team of group leaders who
made sure the groups stayed together
and arrived safely from one point to the
next. Volunteers also included the 14
docents who greeted each group of rid-
ers as they arrived at one of eight loca-
tions and shared the Jewish history of
that building or neighborhood.
Stops this year included a visit to the
Boston Edison area of Detroit, once
home to prominent Jewish Detroiters

such as the Benjamin Siegel family, and
a stop at Central High School, where
principal David Oclander and a team
of present-day students welcomed rid-
ers to the building. There they saw the
fabulous auditorium and walked the
halls that once were home to nearly 90
percent of Detroit's Jewish population. A
favorite among riders was also the stop
at the Schvitz (bathhouse), followed by
a visit to Greenfield Noodle, located in
Detroit's North End.
J-Cycle is not a fundraiser, but just
one of the ways JHSM engages the com-
munity and brings history to life. *
