2025 Tzedek Awards
Tzedek Awards
At JCRC, we believe that justice is at the foundation of everything we do. That's why we're thrilled to host the annual Tzedek Awards Ceremony, where we bring together the Jewish, intergroup, and interfaith communities in St. Louis to celebrate our ongoing relationships and honor individuals who stand out as leaders of justice in our city.
The word Tzedek, which means "justice" in Hebrew, represents our commitment to creating a fair and equitable society for all. Honorees embody the mission of JCRC and make significant contributions to strengthening our region as a whole.
