CONGRATULATIONS to Jerry Steinberg, 2023 WLKY Bell Award Recipient!
From Leslye Dicken: I couldn’t be prouder of my husband, Jerry Steinberg, for being selected as a recipient of the 2023 WLKY Bell Award!! The WLKY Bell Award is given annually to only ten adults and two youth honorees who have demonstrated the true “Spirit of Louisville” through volunteerism and seeks to inspire all residents to engage in community service. This event, televised live Thursday, October 5, 2023, is the premier volunteer recognition in Metro Louisville, given to those select people for their contribution of time, talent, and treasure to make our community a better place to live, work and play. Republic Bank, in honor of each recipient, will make a $500 donation to their favorite charity. A special thank you to Gilda’s Club Kentuckiana for nominating Jerry and to other special people who added letters of recommendation. It truly touches both of our hearts!
Thank You to our High Holy Days Volunteers and Staff!

Congratulations!
Kol HaKavod to our very own Kendall Gellar on being named a Meyer-Gottesman Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellow by Moving Traditions this year! Kol Koleinu is a distinctive opportunity for young Jewish feminists to learn how to effectively speak their minds and create the change they want to see in the world. The competitive application process requires a great deal of thought and insight. We are inspired by Kendall’s passion to speak her mind and make the world a better place. See the full list of 2023-2024 fellows:

Kendall is the daughter of Mark & Tracy Geller.
