Amidst rising antisemitism, Zaka also accomplishes another symbolic goal with its diverse volunteers, who hail from the Muslim and Christian communities as well as the Jewish.

In the wake of the Bondi Beach attack last month, the ride is Klement’s “answer to the terrorists – a cross-border, cross-cultural project that connects people regardless of race, gender of religion”.

Klement aims for this unity to extend to the public, who are invited to join the first kilometre public ride live online.

Klement said: “Together we will bring life into the symbol of death. I will wait at the Gate of Death on January 15 at 3pm. If no one arrives, I will of course set out alone, but I hope people will come”.

Klement stressed the importance of participating in what will not only be an unprecedented act of remembrance, “but also a large group ride”.

He has set up a Whatsapp group-chat for the journey to Poland, from which potential participants can receive details about the ride and join the route at any time. Others wishing to be part of this historic achievement are encouraged to show their support.

“Spread the word, share, help – keep it rolling,” he concluded.
