FS: What is Mitzvah of Love?
CL: Mitzvah is the Hebrew word for “good deed.” The bike ride became so successful, but it’s for adults and it requires going to Israel. I wanted to create something for young people here in the United States, something that would give kids a real hands-on feeling. I can’t give them a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be disabled, but they could organize an event — anything that is exercise based — and have the experience of learning how to organize something. The whole idea is doing something because you can for kids who can’t.
