In Israel, bicycle riders on the Israel Ride prayed together, observed a moment of silence, and blew the shofar as a sign of strength and unity in light of the events of Oct. 27. Israel Ride cyclists have a tradition: One person carries the Torah on his or her bike each day. Pittsburghers — members of Dor Hadash Congregation—carried the Torah on Oct. 28, to show solidarity with their fellow congregants.
