" #EzraFeig begins each Friday the same way: corralling 100 #Jews to go on a #run in #CentralPark.
He stands up on a park bench, towering above the crowd. They’re schmoozing and stretching, with impressive energy considering the hour. Around half wear blue shirts and shorts emblazoned with a white #StarofDavid, interlaced with an outline of a #runner.
#Feig spreads his arms wide and says “Welcome to #NiceJewishRunners.”
A 35-year-old health care entrepreneur, Feig launched Nice #Jewish #Runners in the wake of the #Hamas-led #Oct7 attacks on #Israel. Three years later, the running group has kept up its pace. Jews from multiple generations, but mostly in their 20s and 30s, continue to feel the group’s pull. For those raised in less observant backgrounds but called to engage more with their #Judaism after Oct. 7, the weekly jogs give them a way to do so outside a #synagogue.
The group has expanded to at least 19 cities in five countries around the world."
