Thanks to the Jewish Community Center in San Francisco, the JCC in Kraków is the proud owner of two new exercise bicycles.  These will be used for training riders who  participate in the Ride for the Living (a bicycle ride from the Nazi German Camp, Auschwitz, to Kraków) to celebrate Jewish life, survival and hope.

 

Thanks to the JCC SF crew: 

Craig Salgado and Aaron Zaffronowi who raised funds to purchase the spin bicycles

 

Thanks to Sister Cities President, John Henry Fullen, who, with Ryan Romero and Matteo Rizzo, and the South San Francisco Rotary Club and El Camino High School's Interact Club  raised additional funds for transporting the bicycles to Poland

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are pleased to announce the inaugural edition of a redesigned and electronically distributed Gazeta, now co-produced by the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life & Culture (TFJLC) and the American Association of Polish-Jewish Studies (AAPJS).

For over 20 years, the Gazeta newsletter has reported current affairs and program developments in Polish Jewish scholarship and communal life. The Taube Foundation is proud to partner with the AAPJS to bring Gazeta into the 21st century and reach a broader audience online.
