Inspiring Jew from Today: Yoel Levy - The Jewish Fitness Coach


 The Jewish Fitness Coach, Yoel Levy, started as a regular fitness creator sharing running videos and training advice. After October 7 he chose to use his platform in a new way. He stepped forward as a proud Jew and dedicated his running to the Bibas boys, Ariel and Kfir, whose red hair became a symbol of Jewish heartbreak and hope.

 

He now runs marathons around the world dressed as Batman in their memory, as Ariel Bibas was particularly fond of the superhero. Levy has run in Israel, London, Sydney and other cities, each time carrying their names with him. The costume catches attention, but the message is what matters. When people stop him and ask why he does it, he tells them the story and reminds them not to forget the children.

 

As Levy continues to run, his audience continues to grow. Today supporters line the marathon routes with signs and orange balloons waiting for a glimpse of Batman. Levy 's message is clear: be visible, be steady and do not shrink yourself to make others comfortable.

 

The Jewish Fitness Coach proves that impact does not always come from speeches. Sometimes it comes from a man in a Batman suit running mile after mile so the world remembers two little boys.
