USCJ Announces Winner of 2015 Shoshana S. Cardin Leadership Award

November 16, 2015 By eJP

uscj_new_logoThe United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ) has named Eric Leiderman, Co-Founder and Director of Institutional Advancement of Masorti on Campus, as winner of its 2015 Shoshana S. Cardin Leadership Award.

Masorti on Campus was founded in 2013 as a grassroots student organization for Traditional-Egalitarian, Masorti and Conservative Judaism on North American college and university campuses. Prior to its founding, many campuses only offered an overall Jewish experience through Hillel; Masorti provides the opportunity to fill the academic year with Torah learning in a traditional yet Egalitarian environment.

Currently a student at Binghamton University studying sociology and religious studies, Eric has a long history of building Jewish campus communities. While a student at the University of Hartford, majoring in Judaic studies, he joined the board and was elected student president of UHart’s Chabad Chevra. During his tenure, Eric helped restructure that organization and substantially grew student participation.

A lifelong Ramahnik, beginning as a camper at Ramah Day Camp in Nyack, Eric most recently worked at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires as communications coordinator, international staff liaison, and mashgiach. He is also an alumnus of USCJ’s Nativ: The College Leadership Program in Israel.

Shoshana S. Cardin, one of the most influential Jewish leaders of our time, established her namesake award on the occasion of the USCJ centennial in 2013, to recognize an emerging Jewish leader who is making a difference in strengthening and transforming Jewish life through the lens of Conservative Judaism. It carries a $5,000 stipend and the opportunity to connect with other emerging Jewish leaders from across the continent through USCJ and its network of kehillot and leaders.
