The Hazon Jewish Environmental Bike Rides in Israel and New York were
founding programs for Hazon, the leading Jewish environmental
organization in North America.  In recent years, Hazon has expanded
its presence on the West Coast with our Food Conference and the
California Ride.  Hazon’s work is at the forefront of teaching the
Jewish community about environmental issues and how to make a
difference.  When you support Hazon, you are supporting local organic
farms in the U.S., helping to build peace through environmentalism in
Israel and the Middle East and supporting some of the most innovative
and impactful programs in the Jewish community.
