Who is your Jewish community hero?
UJC/The Jewish Federations of North America, of which the Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix is a member, has announced its new Jewish Community Hero Awards, which celebrate the selflessness and courage of individuals who are bettering their communities through service and outreach.
Anyone can nominate someone they consider a hero. After a screening process, the nominees will be posted on the award Web site and others can vote for their favorite Jewish heroes. Nominees must be at least 13 years old and a U.S. or Canadian resident whose work impacts a community in North America.
UJC will honor the five nominees who receive the most votes at this fall’s General Assembly, to be held Nov. 8-10 in Washington, D.C. A panel of judges will select the Jewish Community Hero of the Year from these finalists.
The winner will receive $25,000 to put toward his or her work.
Nominations and voting will be accepted through Oct. 8 at jewishcommunityheroes.org.
About 50 partner organizations are supporting the initiative, in addition to the Jewish federations across North America. UJC is working with Blue State Digital — a leading technology and online strategy firm that helped the Obama campaign raise more than $500 million and engage millions of volunteers — to develop and produce Jewish Community Heroes.
“Too often the heroes among us, who do the most for our communities, go unnoticed,” said Adam Smolyar, UJC senior vice-president, strategic marketing and communications, in a press release. “The Jewish Community Heroes initiative aims to spotlight devoted individuals who work incredibly hard for others, whether their efforts affect five people or 5,000.”
Our community certainly has its own heroes — who would you nominate?
