Recommendation Form below is provided to nominate persons to receive the Foundation Award.
Achievements will
be considered in the following areas:
Unity. Chronic infighting
and rivalry can be disastrous to Jewish life. A program that
effectively replaces that spirit with cooperation and mutual
respect, transcending geographical, doctrinal or other differences,
and strengthening ties to a common identity, will be welcomed.
Education. A published or
publishable book that adds something to Jewish knowledge or
to understanding of Jewish people; a musical or dramatic stage
or film score, script or production with the same standard;
a school program that shows content, originality and effectiveness.
Rescue. Individuals
who save the lives of endangered Jewish people, rehabilitate
destroyed or damaged Jewish communities, or enable Jewish
refugees to find safe haven anywhere in the world.
The amount of the award has grown as tax-free contributions build the fund. The 2007 award was $15,000. The 2008 award will be $18,000 -- one thousand Chai's!
Deadline for recommendations and applications for this award is September 1, 2008.
