- The theme of the 1992 Walk for Israel was "From Toronto to the Heart of Our Homeland." This Jerusalem-centred theme was selected because the day of the walk, Sunday, 31 May, coincided with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification, hence the festival held this year was named the "Yom Yerushalayim Celebration." The walk was chaired by Judy Engel and Judy Shulman and coordinated by UJA Federation staff member Pearl Gropper. The Yom Yerushalayim Celebration was first to be held at Earl Bales Park until logistical difficulties necessitated a change to the northern JCC/Lipa Green Building area. The celebration was chaired by Moishe and Jodi Gottesman. As in the past three years, the checkpoints along the route were run by affiliates of UJA.
- Scope and Content
