Boys from YULA yeshiva high school took a 25-mile bike tour of Jewish Los Angeles with their teacher, Rabbi Eliyahu Stewart, a grandfather who rides his bike 50 to 60 miles a week. The December ride took the group of ninth-, 10th- and 11th-graders through West Adams, Boyle Heights and old neighborhoods around USC.\nStewart believes that he met his objective for the tour, which was “to be able to give my students a sense of what came before them in terms of the Jewish community of L.A. as well as expose them to some really interesting parts of the city.”
