We are proud to present the recipients of the
2017 Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize.
“Olim from English speaking countries around the world continue to make significant and meaningful contributions to the State of Israel each day. Once again, these Bonei Zion Prize recipients demonstrate that there are no limits on what an Oleh can achieve and the impact one can have. We are proud to be honoring such an extraordinary group of dedicated and Zionistic individuals.”
