Rabbis, teachers and students of Yeshivat Bnei Akiva Nechalim set out on their annual bicycle trip on Thursday.

This year the trip was dedicated to prayers for the safety of Jonathan Pollard and a call to action for his release from prison in the United States. Two weeks prior to the trip the students learned about Pollard's case in preparation for the event.

The bike trip went through Israel’s roads and nature sites and, of course, the students’ safety was carefully supervised during  the entire time.
