The NY City Marathon may be over, but Rabbi Eric Ertel (pictured left) is still running. Running for Israel, that is. The rabbi, who sought to raise one million dollars for Israeli causes by running the Big Apple race, is already organizing teams to compete in other upcoming major marathons worldwide, including Miami, Tiberias, Berlin, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and New Jersey. His 10-man team’s efforts in New York raised funds for a number of causes that support Israel—including HonestReporting.
Rabbi Ertel said, “If we can have teams of runners at all of these major marathons, we can really raise awareness throughout the year.”
