Building on the Strengths...

We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2007 Covenant Awards for Exceptional Jewish Educators. This year’s Award winners, Tobie Brandriss, Dr. Bruce Powell, and Rabbi Philip Warmflash, continue the tradition, now firmly established, of testifying to the rich and varied methods of transmitting Jewish values, of teaching for the sheer joy of it, and for caring deeply about the lives of the people they touch. When the Covenant Foundation was established in 1990, we dreamed of finding educators like the ones honored here today. Our goal was and still is to acknowledge the importance of a life given to Jewish education and to encourage others to follow. We are proud to have established such a tradition and are pleased to celebrate today the achievements of three special people.

We salute the Covenant Award winners, past, present, and future.

B'Shalom,

Susan Crown
