The United Israel Appeal approved plans for its merger with the United Jewish Appeal and the Council of Jewish Federations. The UIA, which channels money from the UJA to the Jewish Agency for Israel, agreed Thursday to give up its ownership stake in the UJA and to become a subsidiary of the new entity once the merger legally takes effect. As a result of the merger, the UIA Board of Directors will shrink from 91 to 32 members. The merger is expected to be ratified at a meeting of North American federations in April.
