TL;DR: Join us on January 28th for the Global Jewry Prize Ceremony, a one-hour event honoring organizations that strengthen Jewish life through collaboration and shared values. Hosted by Jessica Abo and featuring a message from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, the ceremony offers a moment of reflection, inspiration, and global connection, celebrating cooperation over competition and the people making a lasting impact.
At a moment when the world feels unsettled and the pace of change can be exhausting, the Global Jewry Prize Ceremony offers something intentionally different: a pause.
Designed to bring a global audience together across time zones, the ceremony will be broadcast on the Global Jewry YouTube channel on January 28 at 12:00 PM Eastern (2:00 PM in Buenos Aires, 6:00 PM in Central Europe, 7:00 PM in Israel). For those who can’t join us live, this event will be available to watch on our YouTube channel after the premiere. The ceremony will be hosted by our own Jessica Abo and feature a video message from Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
We really hope you will step away from the noise and join us for an hour focusing on what endures: shared values, meaningful collaboration, and the people quietly doing the work that strengthens our communities. Please tune in and be part of this shared moment of reflection and recognition.
