In the case of the Salute to Israel parade, the Orthodox groups, which make up at least half the participants, have said they will not mar- ch if the gay and lesbian congregation does. Orthodox yeshivas and day schools comprise about 38 of the 75 groups and "at least" half of the approximately 75,000 children, teens and adults marching, said Rabbi Joseph Sternstein, chairman of AZYF.
