youth trips to Israel in particu- lar, as a top priority. At the same time, Mr. Bier- man said, the Operation Exodus campaign, which raised around a billion dollars nationally since its 1990 launch, was drawing to a close last year. 'When the priorities changed, and we began focusing on send- ing kids to Israel, we decided we would roll over Exodus dollars into this fund," said Mr. Bierman. "There are a lot of people who have reached a plateau in their regular campaign, and if this strikes a chord with them, they might increase" their giving, he said.

UJA has made Israel trips for Jewish youth a theme in its fund- raising campaign this year, and "there is no question that it is a stimulus to the general cam- paign," said UJA Executive Vice President Rabbi Brian Lurie. At the same time, however, UJA serves as a conduit for fed- eration money headed overseas. While it gets roughly 45 percent of every dollar raised by Fort Lauderdale's general campaign, it won't get anything from the special continuity campaign. "UJA nationally is committed to seeing that the '95 campaign goes up," Rabbi Lurie said. 'There is always a concern that running a second line will diminish the ef- forts of bringing the first line up." Mr. Bierman, for his part, re- jects the dichotomy between rais- ing money for Israel and raising money for American Jewish con- tinuity. 'We've come to the point where Israel and local meshes," he said. Palestinian Police Stop A Bus Jerusalem (JTA) — Six armed Palestinian police in civilian clothes tried to force their way onto a bus carrying Jewish schoolchildren at the Netzarim junction in the Gaza Strip. Israel Radio said the men emerged from a Volvo and tried to board the bus. They were pre- vented from doing so by a joint Palestinian-Israel patrol, which enabled the bus to continue safe- ly on its way.
