The North American Jewish federation system reported an upswing in its annual fund-raising campaign. The United Jewish Communities has raised $230 million in its 2004 campaign, said Steve Selig, UJC’s national campaign chair. Addressing the group’s decision-making bodies, the board of trustees and delegates assembly, Selig said Monday that the figure represents a 7 to 10 percent increase over the previous year.
