Awards | Past Recipients

The Covenant Award, established in 1991, is a prestigious and widely respected recognition of educators and innovators who have made a distinguishable mark in the realm of Jewish education, and across its myriad settings, denominations and levels.

“They do not share one denomination, one pedagogical approach, one teaching venue, or one definition of teaching,” notes Eli N.

In ways large and small, each has helped to make a Jewish renaissance imaginable.”
