"Running for Israel" began as an idea to help increase public awareness of the issues facing the State of Israel and the needs of the people who live there.  To bring this idea into reality, Rabbi Eric Ertel of New York City  and ten other motivated runners, ran this year's New York City Marathon to begin raising One Million Dollars for causes that support the State of Israel and translate awareness into activism.

On September 25th, 2005,  we will continue this effort by running the Berlin Marathon.  We invite you to help us meet these goals by joining the "Running for Israel" team.  Run with us, raise your own pledges, cheer us on during the race, or simply donate!  Every donation brings us a stride closer to living the reality of a peaceful Israel.
