The Covenant Foundation gives awards to three exceptional Jewish educators annually. Designed to honor, thank, and celebrate outstanding educators, each award carries with it a prize of $25,000 for the educator and an additional $5,000 for the educator’s home institution.

Over the past sixteen years, forty-eight remarkable educators have received Covenant Awards. These outstanding individuals represent the creativity, commitment, and talent in a field that is increasingly being recognized and supported by the community. Recipients have distinguished themselves in a myriad of ways in Jewish education including classroom teaching, family education, dance, music, adult education, tzedakah, storytelling, Hillel work, curriculum design, leadership, and professional development.

For a list of these extraordinary educators and more information about them, please see Past Recipients.
