- Admin History/Bio
- The 1995 Community March for Israel took place on Sunday, 28 May, Yom Yerushalayim. It was chaired by Maura Cooperberg and Jeff Cohen with past chair Judy Engel serving as advisor. Campaign associate Ronit Climan was staff coordinator, and Marcy Kroach and Gilda Niman headed the planning of the festival. The theme of the March was "From Metulla to Eilat," emphasizing how UJA was helping Israel youth "throughout the length and breadth of the country." The five-kilometre route again went from the Promenade Mall at Bathurst and Clark to the Bathurst JCC. Mayors of both Metulla and Eilat (Yossi Goldberg and Gabi Kadosh) were present and led the March. At the festival, the mainstage entertainment was headlined by The Stars Band and Liberty Silver.
