While in Denver, a supporter and good friend introduced Nachum to the art of Mountain Biking. Today, Nachum is seen riding in the Judean hills and has acquired the nickname, ’The Biking Rabbi.’ Looking for other bikers to ride with, Nachum helped to create a biking group in Bet Shemesh. In the past few years he has mentored dozens of new riders. Many of the local youth expressed an interest to ride with him. As the interest grew stronger he fundraised for a few bikes to be used by these kids. Weekly rides began and Nachum was astonished by the positive effects mountain biking was having in changing the lives of the teens and their families.
