AMHERST — After an eight-year hiatus, a former annual fundraising event by the University of Massachusetts Hillel that helped support local, national and international service projects, will be making its return.

Through a partnership with UMass Hillel, the Jewish Federation of Western Massachusetts will be taking over and expanding the Ride to Provide event, said Nora Gorenstein, CEO of the federation, at the organization’s annual meeting in December.
