LIVING Joshua Malina
T
he theme of this year’s MEGA 2020 event held on March 5 is “Modern Mensches & Mitzvahs” with Joshua Malina as the headliner. Joshua graduated from Yale University with a bachelor’s degree in theater studies. He made his professional acting debut in the Broadway production of Aaron Sorkin’s “A Few Good Men.” Joshua is well-known for playing Will Bailey on the NBC drama “The West Wing,” Jeremy Goodwin on “Sports Night,” David Rosen on “Scandal,” and President Siebert on “The Big Bang Theory.” He is very active in Jewish affairs, appearing in the Jewish Federation’s “Live Generously” campaign and has spoken at dozens of Federations and Hillel events across the country. Joshua also starred in a video aimed at Jewish high school students to prepare them for the possibility that they’ll face an anti-Israel climate on college campuses. During MEGA 2020 members of the community will be honored. The Medal of Honor will be awarded to David Weiner and the Harold & Jean Grossman Award will be bestowed upon Esther and Don Schon, MD.
