President’s Letter
By Steve Aroesty, JMA President, September 20, 2026
Hi all,
Best wishes for a happy, healthy New Jewish Year!
In case you didn’t hear, we had another super Ride to Remember Convention this past summer. Hats go off to the Cleveland Shul Boys and all who helped make our annual get together a smashing success. Their hard work paid off and delivered an emotional, spiritual, wonderful few days that all of us will remember for years to come. In addition, we proudly raised over $250k for the Tribe of Nova charity.
Looking ahead, we already have plans afoot for another great get together next June in Boston, where we will be one of the first groups to tour and support the new Holocaust Museum, which is currently being built just steps away from the historic Freedom Trail. This will be our first R2R ever to be held in Boston.
In 2028, Israel turns 80 and a group of us would like to visit and show our support. Uri and his Toronto crew are working on logistics which would include shipping our own bikes there for extensive motorcycling touring of the country. At this point, you only need to let him know if you might be interested in joining.
There is also room on the calendar for your club to get involved. Feel free to plan a weekend Meet and Greet. If you need ideas or help, feel free to reach out to your JMA board members.
Thanks,
Steve Aroesty
JMA President
