--(BUSINESS WIRE)----King David Bikers:
King David Bikers Depart South Florida for 800 Mile Journey on Sunday, April 30th
What: Sunday, April 30th, King David Bikers, the nation's largest
Jewish motorcycle riding organization, will have an official launch
ceremony for their 800 mile ride to Whitwell, Tennessee, to meet
hundreds of other Jewish bikers who are congregating in this small
southern town of only 1600, where there is not a single Jewish person,
in recognition of the holocaust, to honor the school and students of
Whitwell for creating a memorial for the six million Jews who were
exterminated. The work done by the Whitwell School was turned into a
movie, "Paper Clips," that airs regularly on HBO.

Who: King David Bikers (KDB) (http://www.kingdavidbikers.com) will
meet more than three hundred Jewish bikers from the Jewish Motorcycle
Alliance, (http://www.jewishbikers.com) an umbrella organization of
more than 10 Jewish Motorcycle Clubs in the United States, Canada and
Australia, along with hundreds of "independent" Jewish riders. During
this "international ride" Jewish bikers from 14 states, the District
of Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Montreal in Canada, and Melbourne,
Australia will be converging in Tennessee.
Speakers: Florida State Senator Ron Klein and Assi Haim, the Director
of Economic Affairs of the General Consul/Israel will provide remarks,
along with Jeff Mustard, Founder and President of King David Bikers
and Rabbi Moishe Denburg, the Rabbi of the Chabad/Boca Raton.
Departure Ceremony/Time: The bikers, the public and the congregation
will gather commencing at 8:30 AM for breakfast through to 9:30 AM.
Speakers from 9:30 - 9:45, bikers depart at 10:00 AM.
Departure Location: Chabad Boca Raton: 17950 Military Trail, Boca
Raton, Florida 33496 - (561) 241-6257; Chabad is located on N/E/C of
Military Trail and Clintmoore Road, in Bank of America strip center at
the rear. It is a multi-million dollar 24,000 square foot synagogue.
Contact: Rabbi Moishe Denburg: 561-414-9995.
Why: The Whitwell School initiated the Paper Clip Project in 1998 to
study The Holocaust and to honor its victims. In an era of increasing
anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, we are recognizing the school for
its remarkable social consciousness, a rural southern community with a
population of 1600 and most interestingly, a non-existent Jewish
community.
