AND THE WINNER IS... In 2022, Jewish Action won four Rockower Awards for Excellence in Jewish Journalism—considered the Pulitzers of the Jewish world.

The awards were presented virtually by the American Jewish Press Association (AJPA). Winning articles included “The Economic Toll of a Pandemic,” by Rachel Schwartzberg, a multi-faceted exploration of the economic effects of Covid on Jewish communities across the U.S., and “An ‘Author’ in History: Rabbi Berel Wein’s Extraordinary Contributions to Jewish Life and Learning,” by David Olivestone, which vividly depicts Rabbi Wein and explores his view of Jewish history. Other winning articles included Dr. Rafael Medoff’s “Finally, A Star of David for Jewish Heroes,” about the critical work of Operation Benjamin to place Jewish stars on the graves of Jewish WWII vets overseas, and “A Summer of Change,” by Steve Lipman, a personal story illustrating the important role that summer camps play in Jewish education.

Jewish Action features articles on a range of topics including Jewish history, contemporary Jewish issues, Israel, holiday recipes, Jewish thought, book reviews, and so much more.
