Nefesh
BNefesh Creates Award To Recognize Outstanding Anglo Immigrants
In Israel
Jerusalem,
Israel --- October 5, 2013 ... Nefesh BNefesh has established
an award to recognize outstanding immigrants to Israel from English-speaking
countries.
The Bonei
Zion Prize was established by Nefesh
BNefesh to formally recognize outstanding Anglo
olim veteran and recent who illustrate the spirit
of modern-day Zionism by contributing in a potent manner towards
developing the State of Israel, Nefesh BNefesh said
in announcing the prize.
A panel of
judges will award $10,000 prizes in five categories: science and
medicine; education and non-profit; IDF (Israel Defense Forces)
and national service; entrepreneurship and technology; and culture,
sports and art.
Nominations
for the prize will be accepted through December 15, 2013.
We believe
that accentuating the achievements of Western olim will be a catalyst
to inspire others to make Aliyah and help make a difference to
our young country, said Rabbi Yehoshua Fass, a Nefesh BNefesh
co-founder and its executive director.
The panel
of judges includes Lt.- Gen. (Ret.) Gabi Ashkenazi, former IDF
chief of staff; Dr. David Breakstone, vice chairman of the World
Zionist Organization; David Gerstein, a prominent painter and
sculptor; Rabbi Berel Wein, founder and director of The Destiny
Foundation; Yehuda Avner, an author and a former diplomat and
prime ministerial adviser; and Barbara Goldstein, the deputy executive
director of Hadassah, Israel.
Founded in
2002 with the goal of revitalizing immigration from North America,
NBN is funded by the Israeli government, the Jewish Agency and
private donors.
NBN has offices in
the United States and Britain but is headquartered in Jerusalem.
It employs counselors and immigration professionals throughout
Israel whose main job is to minimize the financial, logistical
and social obstacles immigrants face before and after they arrive.
