    The announcement was made Tuesday in New Orleans at the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America, which sponsored the online competition.

    A panel of judges selected Feinberg, 42, of Boca Raton, Fla., from among five finalists for the $25,000 Jewish Federations grant awarded to the winner. More than 300,000 people cast online votes to determine the 20 semifinalists; the panel whittled the list to five before choosing Feinberg.

    The other finalists—Mordechai Tokarsky, Dmitriy Salita, Stephen Kutner and Zvi Gluck—will receive $1,000 Jewish Federations grants.

    Mazel Tov. Sounds like he is an amazing person. Looking at his photo it is hard to believe that he is 42 years old – he looks like a kid. I think that doing so much for other human beings must be the best anti-aging device in the world.
