Organizers of “Jewish hero” contest ask for submissions

The Jewish Federations on Wednesday called on the public to submit nominations for this year’s “Jewish community hero” contest. Last year, Jay Feinberg of Boca Raton, Florida was awarded $25,000 for his work to found a Jewish bone marrow registry after being diagnosed with leukemia.
Some 300,000 people voted for him on the competition’s Website jewishcommunityheroes.org. “This year’s Hero will also be awarded $25,000 to continue their good work for their community,” the Federations said in a press release.
