About Jay :

I just turned 39. My wife, Caralee, and I both made aliyah from the US (from California and Florida). We live in Eli with our 4 girls. I work as a systems/spaceflight engineer.
I've run three races in the last year, and pleased to get my time to just under 50 minutes in the Tel Aviv 10 KM race. I am training for the 21 km, half marathon in the holy city of Jerusalem, which promises to be much more difficult in distance and inclination. My friends Harel and Asher and I have been running up and down the beautiful Shomron Mountains near Eli. Special thanks for the work of the Eisler store in Jerusalem http://eisler.dsites.co.il , whose great shoe inserts made it possible for me to run.

About Sderot:

The citizens of the southern Israel city of Sderot have been for too long the victims of the Palestinian missile attacks, cruelly aimed at their houses and schools. It is the responsibility of each of us to help the many victims of this terror and to do what we can to support Israel in its fights against the terrorists. I wish the many brave IDF soldiers success and safety in all of their missions. I look forward to seeing the members of some of the fittest IDF units at the Jerusalem race and running with them (or more likely, behind them).
