Ninety Jewish participants in the UJA Winter President’s Mission to Israel pledged $1.4 million to the 1986 UJA/Federation Campaign, a 43 percent increase over pledges by the same donors last year. Bernard Borine of Philadelphia, who chaired the January trip, also reported that participants pledged $233,400 to Project Renewal. Twenty-three members of the group took part in a pre-Mission visit to the Jewish communities of Casablanca and Marrakesh and observed social programs of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in Morocco.
