On Friday afternoon, April 30, 1971, approximately 40 members of the Berkeley-based student group, the Radical Jewish Union (RJU), occupied the Federation offices in San Francisco. They presented their demands for dramatic increases in support for Jewish education

Many of the RJU members went on to become significant figures in Jewish education, formal and informal, from early childhood to university and adult education.
