- Admin History/Bio
- The Eighteenth Annual Walk for Israel drew twelve thousand participants and an additional three thousand who came to the festival. The walk was held on Sunday, 17 May and had the traditional route—eighteen kilometres for the eighteenth walk—south along Bathurst to Eglinton and then north on Avenue Road/Bathurst to the festival at the Bathurst JCC. The event came together, as always, with the energy and organization of hundreds of volunteers, as well as the UJA Committee, which was chaired by Gloria Clamen. The money raised this year went towards a daycare centre in Kfar Gvirol. At the festival, two artists in their eighties, Henry Weingluck and Hannah Sandberg, displayed their paintings. A bonfire for Lag B'Omer wrapped up the day.
