The Covenant Foundation

Awards | Nominate an Educator

Welcome

This year, The Covenant Foundation honors three extraordinary Jewish educators with Covenant Awards: Rabbi Eve Ben-Ora, Ms. Amy Skopp Cooper, and Rabbi Shai Held. Each Award carries with it a $36,000 prize for the recipient and a $5,000 prize for the organization that employs the Award winner.

2011 marks the twenty-first time The Covenant Foundation has acknowledged the extraordinary talent found in Jewish education. Sixty-three professionals have received this honor. We are looking to you to help continue this crucial tradition.

The 2012 Covenant Award recipients will come from your communities-please help us identify them! The Foundation seeks nominations of extraordinary educators who have been overlooked, as well as outstanding educators in areas of Jewish education that have received too little attention. We continue to recognize the need to identify remarkable classroom teachers whose groundbreaking work can serve as a model to the community. Please help us to find and honor the next recipients of the Covenant Award.

In the following guidelines, you will find everything you need to nominate a Jewish educator for the Award. Please read all the instructions with care and take note of the nominator's various responsibilities. The deadlines indicated on the materials are firm; the Foundation cannot accept materials that arrive after the deadline. We look forward keenly to learning about the exceptional Jewish educators in your communities!

Warmly,

Harlene Winnick Appelman
