We are proud to present the recipients of the
3rd Annual Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize.

“It is truly remarkable each year to see how Olim are making such a significant impact on the State of Israel. The Bonei Zion Prize recipients exemplify how Anglo Olim are making historic advancements and contributing, each in their own field, to the success of the country and our nation. The goal of the Bonei Zion Prize has been to highlight to Jews worldwide the incredible achievements Olim are making in their respective fields in Israel and how one can succeed despite being a newcomer.”
