It has been announced that Rabbi Josh Broide of Boca Raton and Marly Silverman
of Coral Gables have both been named as part of the top 20
semi-finalists of The Jewish Federations of North America’s third annual
Jewish Community Heroes Awards: a national online contest that recognizes and promotes selfless acts of volunteerism in the North American Jewish community.
Over 239,000 votes were cast for the 300+ individuals who have been nominated by their peers. On December 7, a panel of judges will announce four finalists and a winner. The winner will receive $25,000 to support his/her generous role within the Jewish community.
20-million Americans suffer with Neuro-Endocrine Immune diseases. For at least 25% of these patients, a diagnosis means permanent disability and little hope. Marly Silverman, creator of PANDORA has been determined to change all that.
Marly began Pandora in 2002, but has worked for those impacted by NEIDs since 1999. In that time, Marly has constantly and consistently addressed the issues that affect the life of persons diagnosed with NEIDs. Through Pandora, Marly is working to create some of the first treatment centers for NEIDs. In addition, Marly created the Walk In My Shoes Campaign to raise awareness and garner much needed funding for research and a cure.
Josh Broide is the creator of the Boca Raton Jewish Experience (BRJE) offers free classes to Jews about their history and heritage. Josh Broide also runs a daily radio show called Jewish Pride Radio along with many other events and programs.
