- Admin History/Bio
- In 1994, the walk was renamed the Community March for Israel to give it a strong feeling of community spirit, solidarity, and unity. The route was significantly shortened to five kilometres, and it started at a precise time so that all participants walked together; as the posters read, "We walk as one!" The event was held on Sunday, 29 May. It was chaired by Judy Engel and Alan Winer, with UJA staff coordinator Vicki Weiss overseeing the planning and the work of committees. Close to seven thousand participants raised about $100,000 to support teenage olim (immigrants) in Israel. Related fundraisers include the second annual aerobathon, dances held by BBYO and Reena-Kadima-CHAT and a pre-March run of ten kilometres.
