The winners were Dina Bartov, a teacher at Beth Evergreen, in Evergreen, Colorado, who is supervised by Education Director, Jill Wildenberg, and Dalia Rosenthal, Education Director of Kehillath Shalom in Cold Spring Harbor, New York.

The awards are sponsored by Harold Grinspoon Foundation and Jewish Life Network/Steinhardt Foundation in partnership with JESNA. Designed to recognize, honor, and support outstanding classroom Jewish educators on the local level, these awards were presented to professionals in communities across North America in conjunction with their central agencies for Jewish education or federations.

Both educators attended the Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education in St Louis, Missouri in August. They are pictured above at a Reconstructionist dinner hosted by David Roberts and Sue Fischlowitz.
