Tell us about your nominee. Why should he or she be recognized as a Jewish Community Hero?
Jonah is one of the most amazing people I know. He started taking only donations instead of birthday gifts in kindergarten- begging his mother to return the gifts people gave him so he could donate more. He is a day school student- starting public school this year in HS. He had a "green" bar mitzvah- raising money for JNF and books for kids in Israel. He has voluntered at least 1 dy/wk for the last 3 yrs teaching inner-city kids how to read. He is an old soul with a heart of gold- a mensh who always is willing to teach and help others.
