We are proud to present the recipients of the
1st Annual Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize.
Over 200 Olim from English-speaking countries – including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UK, USA and Canada – were nominated for the Prize this year. The Prize committee had tremendous difficulty choosing the winners from so many impressive candidates, which is a true testament to the caliber of the nominees and the immeasurable impact that Anglo Olim are making in Israel.
