- The 1981 Walk for Israel took place on Sunday, 3 May. Its theme was "Walk for the Youth of Israel," because monies raised went to build a sports complex for the children of Mazkeret Batya. Advertised highlights of the 1981 walk included Al Waxman, a celebrity photo booth, the Blue Jays bird, Mr. Peanut, and the Toronto Argos cheerleaders. The walk ended with a celebration of the northern JCC's (BJCC's) twentieth anniversary. As an adjunct fundraiser, a fiftteen-hour danceathon was held at the BJCC, where participants could dance from 11 p.m. to 2 p.m. the next day. The danceathon was organized by Ruth Lootsteen and Jack Samuel.

- Biography
- Samuel "Sam" Rothschild was born on 16 October 1899 in Sudbury to Daniel and Annie Rothschild, the city's first Jewish settlers. Daniel Rothschild was a merchant in the city, whose retail and office property is listed on the city's register of historic properties.
- Samuel was the first Jewish player in the National Hockey League (NHL) and played a total of 102 games. He played for the Montreal Maroons, Pittsburgh Pirates, and New York Americans. He was the last surviving member of the 1926 Stanley Cup champion Maroons.
- Following his retirement from the NHL, Rothschild took up coaching and coached the junior Sudbury Wolves to the 1932 Memorial Cup championship. He married Eva Yackman in 1933. He was also a prominent supporter of curling in the city, was president of the Northern Ontario Curling Association and the Canadian Curling Association from 1957 to 1958, and secured the city's status as host city of the 1953 Brier. He was later inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame. He also served for two years on Sudbury's city council. He died on 15 April 1987, aged eighty-seven years.

- Admin History/Bio
- The 1980 Walk for Israel took place on Sunday, 25 May. It was chaired by Verne Chelin and Jerry Panet, and the Toronto Jewish Congress staff coordinator was Mark Gryfe. New to the walk this year was a "leadership mile," in which twenty-five prominent community leaders participated. These included Robert Kaplan, the solicitor general of Canada; Larry Grossman, the provincial minister of industry, trade and tourism; Art Eggleton, a Toronto alderman; John Roberts; Wilfred Posluns, the president of Toronto Jewish Congress; Murray Koffler; and MIlton Harris. The eleven checkpoints along the twenty-five-kilometre route were named after Israeli cities. Thirteen thousand people turned out for the event.
- Part of the walk's promotion included a letter from Henry "The Fonz" Winkler to the students of Jewish schools in Toronto. The popular celebrity could not attend the walk, but, in his letter, he expressed encouragement for the students' fundraising efforts and wished them well.
