This photo was taken at Ve’ahavta’s Starry Nights Tikun Olam Awards Ceremony in 2007, which featured keynote speaker, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel. In the foreground of the photo is the challah (tradiditional ceremonial bread) repesenting the Jewish spirit of the event. Also in the photo is  a crew of African drummers, representing one of the countries in which Ve’ahavta provides aid.  In the background is a screen displaying one of the Tikun Olam Awards recipients, Judy Cohen, a holocaust survivor and educator. This is an evening like no other, in which all in attendance walk away inspired and empowered to make the world a better place.

PLEASE VOTE TODAY!

The thing is, when it looks so different, how does one know where do we begin?
