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.

Scope and Content

Sub-sub-series contains textual records, photographs and a T-shirt for the 1994 Walk for Israel and the festival. The files are arranged by function in this order: walk oversight (the Cabinet Committee and chairs), recruitment of participants and volunteers, logistics, publicity and design, corporate sponsorship, finances, the walk event itself, the festival, related fundraisers, and post-event evaluation and follow-up.

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.

Admin History/Bio

The 1996 Community March for Israel took place on Sunday, 26 May. Its theme was "Journey to Jerusalem," and the festival was called the Jerusalem 3000 Festival in honour of the city's birthday. The goal was to raise awareness and support for UJA's projects in Jerusalem, and, in the end, more than seven thousand people came out to support it. The 1996 march chairs were Maura Cooperberg and Jeff Cohen, and the staff coordinator was Karen Worb.

The festival this year was a joint effort between UJA and the Canadian Zionist Federation; its chairs were Marcy Kroach and Gilda Niman from UJA and Tillie Margolis and Ehud Savion from CZF. Due to the inclement weather the previous year, the planners opted to hold the festival indoors at the North York Centennial Arena at 580 Finch Avenue West. Once again, the march route began at the Promenade Shopping Centre and led south on Bathurst to the arena.

Admin History/Bio

Jack Leve was born in Russia. In 1904, after his brother was murdered in a pogrom, his parents put Jack—who was only nine at the time—on a ship to Montreal, where he lived with relatives. He did very well at Hebrew school, but one day he dipped a snowball in water to freeze it and hit the rabbi with it on his walk home, knocking him out. When he was caught, he decided to move to New York City and found a factory job, skinning skunks for fur coats.

After serving with the Canadian forces in the First World War, Jack decided to trade furs, working in James Bay. He spent most of his time with First Nations individuals, making many connections and even befriending Grey Owl. In 1938, Jack married Sarah Rives. When Judy was born in Montreal, the family had to send out a dog sled to notify Jack, who was in an igloo on Baffin Island.

Jack eventually settled in Sudbury around 1944. He had a base office just above Wolfe's book store where he kept two baby bears which he fed with baby bottles. He spent a great deal of time in the bush where he met with First Nations individuals, trapped, hunted, fished and purchased furs. Despite his rugged lifestyle, he was a staunch Zionist. In 1948, he relied on his contacts and skills as a fur trader to ship bullets hidden in mink, muskrat and otter furs to Israel to help the cause during the War of Independence. He was also an active member of the Jewish community in Sudbury. His wife kept a kosher home and Jack served on the executive of the synagogue and B'nai Brith.

Scope and Content

This item is a copy print and corresponding negative of Jack Leve, of Sudbury, Ontario, seated on a stoop in front of his fur post in Biscotasing. There are several children standing nearby and his sign is partially visible.

Administrative History

The Jewish War Veterans of Canada is an organization for Jewish veterans of all wars. The Toronto Post was formed in 1976 and sponsors community events, annual dinners, and assists veterans. Around 2005, the organization had plans to erect a monument at Earl Bales Park and publish a book to commemorate all Jewish veterans; however, the organization fell into financial trouble and this project never came to fruition. The Toronto Post has since undergone a complete change of leadership and continues to operate out of its office at 4600 Bathurst Street.
