Established in memory of Ruby Bass (z”l), the award honors her lifelong passion for the Jewish Federation of Cleveland and her commitment to the Women’s Philanthropy Campaign. This year’s recipient, Nan Cohen, epitomizes Campaign volunteerism and dedication to the Federation. In Nan’s honor, the Ruby Bass Challenge Endowment Fund will make a donation to the Women’s Philanthropy Campaign for the 2019 Campaign for Jewish Needs. This award was established by Ruby Bass’ son Jonathan, his wife Stephany and her mother Lenore Kessler, who was also Ruby’s dear friend.

Lions of Judah are women who make individual gifts of $5,000 or more to the annual Campaign for Jewish Needs; Pomegranates are women who make individual gifts of $1,800 - $4,999 to the annual Campaign for Jewish Needs. Attendees will have the opportunity to make their commitments to the 2019 Campaign for Jewish Needs.

Lions of Judah proudly wear a gold Lion pin, which represents the strength, honor and dedication of the Tribe of Judah, one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Pomegranates proudly wear a silver Pomegranate pin; they are named for the biblical fruit, said to contain 613 seeds – one for each of the commandments found in the Torah.

* Individual photo opportunities with Ms. Lewinsky will be available to new Lions of Judah, or Lions of Judah who make an increase of $180 or more to the 2019 Campaign for Jewish Needs.
