The nomination period for the 2017 Sylvan Adams Nefesh B’Nefesh Bonei Zion Prize has officially opened. The $10,000 prize is given to extraordinary English-speaking immigrants who have a major impact on developing the State of Israel.

"The winners will be selected by a prestigious panel of committee members, from six categories: Community and Nonprofit; Culture, Sports and Arts; Education; Science and Medicine; and the two updated categories, Israel Advocacy; and Young Leadership."
