Twenty wounded IDF soldiers and veterans went for a motorcycle tour of Jerusalem last Friday thanks to Belev Echad, which organized the tour with the international Gold Wing Road Riders Association motorcycle club.
Escorted by Israeli police, 30 Goldwing members and supporters of Belev Echad took the wounded veterans around Jerusalem for a daylong tour, stopping at the Kosel and in East Talpiot and the Judean Hills for a view of the city.
Belev Echad was founded by Rabbi Uriel and Shevy Vigler in 2009. The organization aims to show the Jewish people’s gratitude to IDF veterans for putting their lives on the line to protect and defend the Jewish state. Belev Echad brings wounded soldiers on life-changing therapeutic trips to New York, and also helps the soldiers receive prosthetic limbs and other therapies, scholarships and counseling.

Thanks, Belev Echad for organizing such a beautiful tour. The IDF soldiers are doing everything possible to defend their state and by this tour, they would have more motivated to keep their state in a great condition. Last month I and my friends went Jerusalem by booking the tour through Mantis Tourism & Attraction and we are amazed to see the surroundings there also the people are great. They are showing a lot of bravery there. Must visiting place for everyone and seeking peace for the people there.
