The 2nd Jewish Community Heroes Campaign sponsored by the Jewish Federations of North America is coming up soon. This national online campaign raised the profile of hundreds of community members across the country doing amazing things for the Jewish and greater community. One community hero of the year and four finalists will be recognized. A panel of judges will select the winner from the 20 nominees who receive the most online support. That person will receive a $25,000 grant to support his or her work. Last year's community hero, Ari Teman, the founder of JCorps, said the grant money allowed him "to get many more people involved in service projects around the world."
