Awards to English-speaking immigrants to Israel for significant contributions to the State of Israel. Awards are intended to recognize the achievements of outstanding immigrants from western countries who have moved to Israel since 1948. A prize will be awarded in each of six fields, including education, young leadership, global impact, science and medicine, community and nonprofit, and culture, art, and sports.
The Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize formally recognizes the achievements of Olim from English-speaking countries who are making a considerable contribution to the State of Israel. As Aliyah from western countries continues to increase, Olim are making a remarkable impact on the Jewish State – economically, socially and culturally – contributing to Israeli society in all fields of endeavor. This award is an expression of support for Olim whose contributions have helped better Israel in a meaningful way, and acknowledges those who encapsulate the spirit of modern-day Zionism by contributing towards developing the State of Israel.
