Covenant Foundation Award Honors Educators

June 2, 2010 By eJP

Three exceptional educators from across the spectrum of Jewish life are 2010 recipients of The Covenant Foundation’s prestigious Covenant Award for their commitment to excellence and for designing innovative approaches making lasting impact on students, community and Jewish education.

Jan Darsa, Director of Jewish Education at Facing History and Ourselves in Brookline, MA; Beth Huppin, a Judaic Studies teacher at the Seattle Jewish Community School; and Dr. Bernard Steinberg, President and Director of Harvard Hillel are the 2010 awardees.

The three awardees join 57 other Jewish educators honored with a Covenant Award since the Foundation established the citation in 1991. Each will receive $36,000, and each of their institutions will receive $5,000.

Here’s more from The Covenant Foundation.

All the time working and aducationg in the ways of the Torah… She and her husband Mr. Abraham Garzón may be blesses with health to continue and receive the necesary funding to keep their project…

    As a former student at Harvard I’m very dissappointed that Dr. Bernie Steinberg is being awarded the Covenant award. He was recently fired from his position as Executive Director because of his failures to run the organization and his lack of oversight which gave the accountant free room to embezzle almost a million bucks from Harvard Hillel. Also, in all my time at Hillel he taught maybe one or two lectures a year and mostly just focused on the students that he could manipulate. This is a real shame for the Covenant award and its integrity.
