One hundred Yeshivat AMIT Nachshon, Mateh Yehuda, students , parents and teachers ran the 10 km marathon in Jerusalem held at the end of March. During the months preceding the marathon, the runners trained and collected sponsors, with proceeds being earmarked for special projects at the yeshiva and assistance for students whose families cannot afford the mission to Poland.
During the marathon, AMIT Nachshon students ran a mile alongside Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat. Barkat praised their perseverance and the purpose of their run: promoting their school and helping their friends.
Noam Eliezer, a twelfth grader at Nachson, said that running together was a team-building and intense experience. “We are very happy about the sense of togetherness, created among all the students and teachers of the yeshiva who wanted to run together for a common purpose. It not the results of a run that matter but rather our common goal – the good of the yeshiva,” said Noam.
