Chabad Shliach Runs over 100km in London Ultramarathon
The rabbi of the only synagogue in Islington ran 106km in an ultramarathon along the River Thames on Sunday to raise money for his community.
Rabbi Mendy Korer of Chabad Islington in north London completed the extraordinary feat — running over double the length of a marathon in just over 15 hours — to empower Jews to challenge themselves “to be their best” in what has been a challenging year for many following October 7.
As of Tuesday, he had raised over £10,800 surpassing his target of £10,000. The money will contribute towards ensuring that the Chabad — a community centre and Islington’s sole synagogue — can maintain its lease.
