Linda and Joel Abromson Award
Created by Linda and Joel’s friends in celebration of the Abromson's commitment to Jewish communal service; the Abromson Award funds projects that allow adult applicants the opportunity to explore Jewish life in a unique and creative way. Joel Abromson found energy and inspiration in his connection to Jewish life, and this award is meant to provide the same opportunities for other adults in our community. Applicants are encouraged to think ‘outside the box’ in terms of what might light their Jewish spirit – a unique travel experience, artistic project, leadership opportunity, or a completely new endeavor they are looking to create but never had the opportunity to explore. The Abromson Award challenges applicants to find an opportunity in Jewish life that excites them. To provide inspiration for future applicants, recipients are asked to present to the community at the completion of their project in a public talk, article in the Voice, or any other appropriate public offering.
Applicants are required to submit:
- Letter of support for their project
- Description of the project and how it would benefit the community
- Project time frame
- Estimated cost for the project and budget
- Resume
- Amount you are requesting
The committee will review all proposals and may follow up with applicants with any additional questions.
Awards will be presented in person to each honoree at the JCA’s Annual Meeting.
