Rabbinic Human Rights Hero Award in US and Canada

Is Your Rabbi or Cantor a Human Rights Hero? Each year, T’ruah honors two extraordinary Jewish clergy members who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to living and working in accordance with a Torah of justice and human rights. And each year they turn to you, their supporters, to help them find these remarkable leaders. Does your rabbi/cantor deserve this honor? Nominate your rabbi or cantor for the Rabbinic Human Rights Hero award.
