RIDING FOR A CAUSE Reads Lane is a primary thoroughfare in the residential area of Far Rockaway, but for one Sunday afternoon in June, much of the leafy boulevard was closed to vehicular traffic and transformed into the finale of a weeks- long campaign known as the ‘Bike-a-thon.’ Hundreds of elementary school talmidim rode their bikes for two hours, having been sponsored for the event by relatives and neighbors. The funds were raised for the Yeshiva’s scholarship fund and enabled more talmidim to benefit from the Darchei Torah chinuch experience. All boys who participated were treated to exciting prizes.
