Rebuild Yalla Bikes and Support Our Neighbors in Tel Aviv

A few days ago, a rocket hit the center of Tel Aviv just a few meters from Yalla Bikes. It shattered windows, damaged homes, injured people, and left local businesses in pieces. Our shop was robbed shortly after the blast. Locks, tools, cash, and parts were stolen. The damage is real - but so is the community.

I’ve lived and worked in this neighborhood for five years. This isn’t just where I run my business - it’s where I walk my dog, get my coffee, and know the faces behind every storefront. Some of those neighbors lost everything in seconds.

I’m starting this fundraiser to replace what was taken from Yalla Bikes and help fix the damage to our shop but the bigger goal is to raise as much as possible to support others who were affected. Families whose apartments were hit. Small businesses that now have gaping holes in their walls. Friends and neighbors who are trying to figure out what comes next.

This money will absolutely help me rebuild Yalla Bikes - but even more importantly, it will go to the people around me who need it most. I’ll personally make sure the funds get to those whose lives were thrown into chaos by this attack, the people I know and care about deeply. I will post updates on my instagram @yallabikes so you can watch the direct impact your donation will make on the people who need it most.

If you’ve ever rented a bike from us, taken a tour, watched our videos, or just believe in the power of community - please consider donating and sharing. Every shekel, dollar, and euro will make a difference.

We will rebuild together.

With love and gratitude,

Jake
