Past Recipients | 1992
Building on the Strengths...
It is with great joy that we present the winners of the 1992 Covenant Awards. Though each of them has a unique record of personal achievement, they share many of the strengths that have distinguished them as representatives of the best in Jewish education. Their zeal has reached beyond their students to communities at large, building bridges between our past and our future. As teachers, organizers, and administrators, they affirm not just the ongoing vitality of Jewish learning; they also testify to the rich tapestry of North American Jewish life in all its forms. While the presentation of these Awards gives us the opportunity to honor three special people, we hope that it will offer an occasion to encourage others in their footsteps.
This is the second year we have celebrated Jewish education through the Covenant Awards. After reading about this year's winners, you will find descriptions of the first Covenant Award recipients. Each year, as we add to the list of winners, we add their names to this booklet to remind us of how far we have come in the search for excellence in Jewish education.
We salute the Covenant Award winners, past, present, and future.
B'Shalom,
Susan Crown
