The Covenant Foundation - Nominate an Educator

Nominate an Educator

Welcome

This year, The Covenant Foundation honors three extraordinary Jewish educators with Covenant Awards: Ms. Jan Darsa, Ms. Beth Huppin, and Dr. Bernard Steinberg. We invite you to read about these remarkable educators and their work. 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.

2010 marks the twentieth time The Covenant Foundation has acknowledged the extraordinary talent found in Jewish education. Sixty professionals have received this honor. We are looking to you to help continue this crucial tradition.

The 2011 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. Please contact the Foundation if you have any questions.

Warmly,

Harlene Winnick Appelman

“Our Jewish tradition puts significance on this 18th anniversary, as it corresponds to the Hebrew word for life, ‘chai.’ And so we are gathered to celebrate that Tree of Life that we planted 18 years ago and to marvel at all the wonderful fruit that it has borne.” — Eli Evans, chairman of the board of directors, The Covenant Foundation
