PILGRIMAGE 1969 REUNION  —  Earlier this month 10 members of the 1969 Pilgrimage that spent seven weeks in Israel and Rome gathered for a 50 year reunion. Judy Belzer Weitzman, one of the organizers who now resides in Chicago, said they had a great time. “It was a hoot,” she said. “Lots of stories were told and it was fun sharing memories and catching up on what everyone has been doing for the last 50 years!” Of the 32 who were on the trip, nine were unavailable for the reunion, two are deceased and the whereabouts of the other 11 are unknown. If you know someone who was on that 1969 Pilgrimage, let us know and we’ll get everyone connected.
