- 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.

- Project Renewal is a joint project between the government of Israel and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI). Begun in 1978, it involves Diaspora populations in empowering distressed communities in Israel. The project has had an impact on over 120 cities and neighborhoods throughout Israel.
- Scope and Content
- File contains records relating to the costs of funding a variety of causes, functions and activities in Israel. A list of the costs of causes for youth specifically, came from the JAFI's Communications Division. The other sheets were compiled by UJA and comprise funding proposals for Project Renewal and a list of equipment needed by communities in Israel with the costs associated with each. The youth-related costs are a connection to the 1994 March's theme, which focussed on the needs of teenage olim (immigrants).
