Tell us about your nominee. Why should he or she be recognized as a Jewish Community Hero?

I would like to nominate William Levin, also known as the Jewish Robot, as my community Jewish hero. Most Jewish organizations today are faced with the same problem of figuring out a way to communicate to the new generation of Jews that don't identify themselves or associate themselves as part of a formal community. William is one of the few people I know who successfully and continually engages Jews worldwide with his original videos and cartoon animations that are not only funny but educational as well. I don't think there is anyone I can think of that is more deserving of this honor than William.

 

What problem did your nominee identify in the community that needed to be solved? How has your nominee's efforts made a difference for others?

William's witty cartoons and videos help everyone enjoy learning about Jewish tradition and rituals. Whether it is explaining the Passover Seder or teaching how to hang a Mezuza, William is able to engage every individual, regardless of their background, on a personal level and allow them to enjoy learning about Judaism.
