We are proud to present the recipients of the
2022 Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize.

“The annual Bonei Zion Prize serves as a reminder of the remarkable impact that Olim are making in every facet of Israeli life. This year’s prize recipients, and the hundreds of thousands of Olim who have chosen to make Israel their home, are true examples of how the Jewish state is thriving.”
