Covenant Foundation Names 2011 Award Recipients for Excellence in Jewish Education

June 7, 2011 By eJP

Three exceptional educators from across the spectrum of Jewish life are 2011 recipients of the Covenant Award for committing to excellence in Jewish education and pursuing innovative approaches that inspire and empower students, colleagues and community.

Rabbi Eve Ben-Ora, Jewish Educator at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco; Amy Skopp Cooper, Director of Ramah Day Camp in Nyack (New York) and Assistant Director of the National Ramah Commission; and Rabbi Shai Held, Dean, and Chair in Jewish Thought at Mechon Hadar in New York City are the 2011 recipients.

The three recipients join 60 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.

The Foundation and the Jewish community will honor them in Denver during the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America.

Biographical details on the three award recipients can be found here.

The Covenant Foundation is a program of the Crown Family Foundation and the Jewish Education Service of North America (JESNA).
