Running Hand in Hand for Disability Inclusion
Team Yachad will be “running hand in hand” across the finish line in the 2018 Jerusalem 10K, Half-Marathon and Marathon. Yachad/National Jewish Council for Disabilities (NJCD) is dedicated to addressing the needs of all individuals with disabilities and including them in the Jewish community. All monies raised will go directly to help those with disabilities attend many of our famous Shabbatonim (weekend programs), summer programs and an array of other inclusive activities.
The Jerusalem Marathon will take place on Friday March 9, 2018. For more information on the course, or for any information related to the marathon itself, please visit the Jerusalem Marathon website.

Absolutely! It might take a little bit of hard work and training, but many of our runners are first timers. To date, every Team Yachad member has crossed the finish line successfully. Whether you are a first time runner or an experienced one, Coach Yosefi will create a personalized training regimen that will have you ready to complete whatever race you have registered for.
Even if you’ve never raised money before, our materials and strategies will make it easy for you to solicit and collect sponsorships from friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others.
Experience has shown that it is not only possible, but quite enjoyable as you work to reach this goal. Yachad is a worthwhile organization and our runners are enthusiastic about its mission. You will be surprised how friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your effort to run/walk in a marathon to help this wonderful cause. Remember, you are not asking people to make donations…you are asking them to sponsor YOU and YOUR efforts!
