wo Detroit-area supporters of Friends of the Israel
Defense Forces (FIDF), Sam Rozenberg of West
Bloomfield and Alon Tolwin of Southfield, were part
of a group of more than 30 who concluded an intense six-day
bicycle ride through Israel last month.
Joining the American FIDF supporters for this cross-
country ride, which began in southern Israel, was a group of
wounded Israeli combat veterans who
have benefited from FIDF rehabilita-
tive programs and prosthetic devices,
and Israeli pro cyclist Roy Goldstein.
The more than 30 cyclists from
across the U.S. covered over 350 miles
and a total vertical climb of more than
22,000 feet. The ride allowed the par-
ticipants, all of whom are avid riders,
to show solidarity with and support
for the soldiers of the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) while experiencing Israel
from the seats of their bikes.
“This cycling tour was an incred-
ible opportunity to bring FIDF sup-
porters together with Israeli soldiers,”
said FIDF Midwest Executive Director
Tamir Oppenheim. “Biking across
Israel together with wounded veterans
helped participants to really under-

benefit from FIDF programs.”
Beginning at the Red Sea in Israel’s
southernmost city, Eilat, the cyclists
headed north, riding through the Ramon Crater in the Negev
Desert, before continuing to Ashkelon and finally finishing in
Jerusalem.
Along the way, the group visited national landmarks,
ancient historic sites and Israeli military bases. The partici-
pants met active-duty soldiers serving on these bases, Lone
