Our Jewish community is partnering with United Jewish Communities and other organizations across the country to help recognize unsung heroes-men and women of all ages who place the needs and concerns of others above their own.

We have signed on to this exciting Jewish Community Heroes campaign, which launched on August 3rd. People across North America will nominate heroes from their individual communities, then vote on-line through October at www.jewishcommunityheroes.org for those who best embody the principles of tzedakah and tikkun olam. Voters will help narrow the field to five finalists, one of whom will go on to receive the Jewish Community Hero of the Year Award.

Each and every nominee will be recognized. The five finalists will be honored during the UJC General Assembly in Washington, D.C., in November. All of the finalists and the contest winner will receive cash awards to enable them to continue their work in the Jewish community.

Please visit http://jewishcommunityheroes.org/philadelphia and nominate those ordinary men and women who have made a tangible difference in the lives of others. Contact Lynn Edelman at 215-832-0639 for additional information.

Put on your pajamas, bring your teddy bear and join us!
