Congratulations to Dr. Jay Goldmintz, an alumni of the Azrieli Graduate School and current Adjunct faculty member on the 2014 National Jewish Book Award for Modern Jewish Thought and Experience given to his Ani Tefillah Siddur. Anyone who has worked or learned with Dr. Goldmintz knows of his passion for and understanding of tefillah for children and adolescents. In recent years, Azrieli Graduate School has been fortunate to have Dr. Goldmintz teach courses in Tefillah and Spiritual Leadership, as well as provide student teacher supervision. Our best wishes of congratulations to Dr. Goldmintz on this well deserved recognition.
