  • Jerusalem's Disabled Marathon As
    SPORT Changing times Jerusalem’s disabled marathon as metaphor • By ARIEL DOMINIQUE HENDELMAN he Jerusalem Marathon is still in its early stage. Begun just seven years ago, it has grown signifi- Tcantly in size. This year saw more than 30,000 runners participating, with approximately 6,000 of them running for charitable causes. While the various tracks of the main marathon start from Sacher Park, just past the park, the disabled marathon hosts thou- sands of participants as well. The disabled marathon has become an incredible forum for children with disabilities to push themselves to try their best to tackle the 800-meter route, as well as for the organizations who are so dedicated to their care – to unite staff, volunteers, family members and even police officers in the cause of supporting the participants. “We initially approached the municipality about doing a disabled marathon,” Gaby Hirsch, international direc- tor of development for Shalva, says. “We thought, if the marathon is to be an inclusive event, it should include the entirety of the Jerusalem population. Mayor Nir Barkat was all for it. Now it has become a much broader track with charities, soldiers and families all taking part. Shalva is the largest team.” Shalva, the association for the care and inclusion of persons with disabilities, had 500 high schoolers join from overseas who raised money through various initia- tives, and nearly a thousand participants on their team in total. Team Shalva runners raised over a million dollars to benefit Shalva’s children; an incredible accomplishment that will serve to help hundreds of disabled children.

    The Goodman’s Blog Chapter 88 April 2020 ALIYAH IN OUR 60’s FROM ARLINGTON HTS, IL TO CAESEREA, ISRAEL (Part 88) SUZANNE & HOWIE GOODMAN Howie and Suzanne Goodman were valued members at Beth Judea until they decided to make aliyah in 2009. The Goodmans have agreed to provide us with a blog on their experiences as new olim in Israel. Though we continue to miss the Goodmans, we can all look forward to reading about their adventures in Israel through their blog. Aliyah in Our 60’s – April 2020 - Part 88 Stand With Us is an organization with which you may be familiar. One of their major purposes has been to fight BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions), which is a Palestinian-led campaign that promotes various forms of boycotts against Israel. Stand With Us does much of its work on college campuses and uses young people to deliver Israel’s message. They now have a headquarters in Jerusalem and have created a grassroots movement of young and old from different backgrounds to be activists for Israel. They send emissaries all over the world to speak about Israel. In February, we attended a beautiful breakfast that they sponsored at a hotel in Ra’anana along with some of our friends from Netanya. Our reason for attending was that we support their cause and the speakers sounded interesting. The Stand With Us breakfast program consisted of showing a segment called “Voices for Israel,” a video showing non-Jews and Jews who live in Israel and speak on Israel’s behalf. The video showed students with Stand With Us at Wits University in South Africa during the Israel Apartheid Week.
