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.
Mazal Tov to Jay Feinberg, founder of the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation, he and his wonderful organization have been instrumental in saving countless lives from cancer.
May you go from strength to strength!!
Did anybody notice what I noticed? Something tells me there was a bias here. Hmmmm….. Something to think about.
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.
Congrats, I just want to take this moment and thank all of the finalists especially Tzvi Gluck he’s such an amazing guy, anytime day or night he’s always ready to help and bh he has power and uses it in the right way,
I’m so amazed I was involved in a case with someone of my family Tzvi had no idea who it was and he didn’t even ask he jumped and helped..
go Tzvi go, hashem should repay u..
mazel tov to all the nominees and to those who do chesed and were not on the listdue to wanting to keep their privacy.
