The winners of the 2015 Chesed Awards
Greater Atlanta Hadassah presented Marian F. Perling Hadassah Chesed Student Awards to 20 Atlanta-area Jewish teens Sunday, May 3, at Congregation Beth Shalom.
Hadassah has handed out the Chesed Awards annually since 1992 to one student from each of the local Jewish day schools and participating synagogue religious schools.
Seventh- to 12th-graders are eligible for the award. Each school chooses its own recipient based on criteria that are paramount to Hadassah and its members:
- Love for Israel.
- Concern for Jews and Jewish culture and heritage.
- Concern for fellow human beings as exemplified through manner and deed.
- Good academic standing.
