Five years ago, when William Bernstein was executive vice president of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles, he decided to break with tradition and come up with new ways to raise money.
Although the federation's annual unrestricted fund-raising drive had been consistently lucrative, Bernstein believed that a new generation of donors — Baby Boomers — were being overlooked.
