Begin's last stop was a four-day visit to New York. An overflow crowd greeted him at an Israeli Bonds luncheon, where individual pledges of $25,000 to $50,000 were made and a total contribution of $20 million was promised. At Yeshiva University he received another honorary degree. Jack Weiler, an Israeli Bonds national treasurer, told Begin: "Israel needs p.r. desperately, and you're doing beautifully...
