On Wednesday, August 20, the group returns for its annual wander and optional swim at the Keystone Arch Bridges, Chester. This easy stroll totals about 3 miles and is mostly flat - 300’ of climbing over 1.5 hours on the trail, plus time for wading & Torah study. Participants are encouraged to bring sure-footed children & grandchildren for an easy hike along a scenic section of the Westfield River that is crossed by several early 20th-century keystone arch bridges. At the midpoint of the hike, walkers will pause for a rest on one of those bridges or scramble down the side to a swimming hole under the bridge. This pond might just be the Fountain of Youth! Leashed dogs are welcome. Participants should register in advance at www.knessetisrael.org/rsvp. Plan to meet at KI at 9AM to carpool or at the trailhead around 9:40.
