Community Bike / Run / Walk 

 

What is Tour de Shuls? Tour de Shuls began in the Boston area as a fundraiser for Camp Ramah’s Tikvah program and has grown to include Massachusetts, Connecticut, Indiana and California.

 

Our Charity

• Supports the Tikvah special needs program at Camp Ramah, which is located in Palmer, Massachusetts.  Since 1970, the Tikvah program has been providing special need Jewish youth with a full camp experience - swimming, boating, sports, the arts, dance, dramatics, and more - under the supervision of specially trained staff.  Tikvah - - meaning hope - - provides that and so much more for approximately 50 campers, ages 13-21.
• Supports Camp Chazak, a program of URJ Eisner and Crane Lake Camps, which is located in W. Stockbridge, Massachusetts.  Camp Chazak serves campers from 8-14 years old, whose social delays impair their ability to function in a "typical" camp environment.
  

This year the Connecticut Tour de Shuls has become a Regional event with participating synagogues from the Greater Hartford area to Torrington to Bridgeport, to Northampton, MA.  Over 20 synagogues, day schools and youth groups will be participating.

You are invited to join in the third annual Connecticut Tour de Shuls Bike/ Run / Walk starting at 8 a.m. at Emanuel Synagogue, 160 Mohegan Drive, West Hartford, CT.

Tour de Shuls serves as an opportunity to bring the community together; to appreciate the number and variety of synagogues, schools and organizations in our midst, and for some healthful walking, running or cycling together. Participants will generally finish between 11:30 – 12:00 and everyone will join together for lunch, socializing, and live Klezmer music featuring Heavy Shtetl.
