National Awards Seminar The Awards Seminar is the culminating event for the Awards Winners. This Seminar is a celebration of the Awards Winners’ accomplishments as well as an opportunity for the Awards Winners from all communities to meet each other and truly understand that they are part of a comprehensive Awards Program. It is also an opportunity for national and local Jewish leadership from across North America to honor the Awards Winners and their achievements in a public manner. It is our hope that by publicly recognizing local Jewish educators, we will make a further statement about the need to meaningfully recognize and commit communal resources to the people at the core of our educational system thereby moving closer to achieving our ultimate goal of raising the status of Jewish education. Awards Winners are invited to this celebration, at no cost to them. The Awards Seminar is held in conjunction with a major conference, which in the past has included the UJC General Assembly (where those involved in Jewish communal life in North America gather to educate and inspire our leaders and to discuss immense challenges of the day), as well as the Jewish Education Leadership Summit (organized by JESNA and convened to tackle the challenge of recruiting and retaining great Jewish educators). The Awards Seminar runs as a special track at these conferences and includes workshops, conference participation as well as the national Awards Ceremony.
