On May 8th, Rabbi Levi Lauer and ATZUM were awarded the 2011 Roger E. Joseph Prize. The Prize recognizes an individual or organization that, by virtue of religious and moral commitment, has made a distinctive contribution to humankind. Some former recipients of this prize are Victor Kugel (the man who gave refuge to Anne Frank), Raoul Wallenberg, Rosa Parks, Teddy Kollek, Father Mychal Judge (posthumously) and the City of New York Fire Department. ATZUM is deeply honored and humbled to receive this award. The Roger E. Joseph Prize, for $10,000, will support ATZUM’s work in Israel to help victims of terror rebuild their lives, to express gratitude to the Righteous Among the Nations by helping them live with dignity, and to prevent the crime of human sex trafficking. There is no better way to express our appreciation to the Joseph family than by pledging to continue ATZUM’s work to make Israel a more just and caring nation.
