The Special Appreciation Award is given by Temple Shalom to individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication to the community through service, leadership, and consistent involvement in synagogue life. It recognizes those who actively strengthen the congregation and contribute meaningfully to its spiritual and cultural life.
I received this award for my ongoing commitment to Temple Shalom, where I regularly assisted in services, supported clergy, and helped foster youth engagement within the congregation. Through leading services in front of hundreds of people, guiding younger teens, and attending frequently, I contributed to building a more connected and active community. My involvement reached dozens of teens and helped reinforce a strong sense of belonging within our synagogue.
"This recognition meant a great deal to me, as it acknowledged the effort and care I put into supporting my temple. It deepened my appreciation for my faith and motivated me to stay even more engaged in Jewish life. The award reminded me how meaningful it is to contribute to a community that has shaped so much of who I am"
