The Covenant Foundation, a Jewish education-focused group, awarded its annual prizes this week to three educators: Rabbi Tamara R. Cohen, Allison Cook and Nicole Nash. Each of the prize recipients will receive $50,000; the institutions where they work will receive $10,000.

Rabbi Cohen is chief program officer at the Moving Traditions Jewish youth group, based in Philadelphia. Allison Cook is the founder and co-director of the Pedagogy of Partnership in Cambridge, MA. Nicole Nash is head of the Hannah Senesh Community Day School in Brooklyn.

The awards honor “three exemplary Jewish educators who are each meeting a complex moment in Jewish communal history with a powerful blend of courage, commitment, and compassion,” according to the foundation, which is a program of the Crown Family Philanthropies. The foundation “elevates the work of Jewish educators and highlights their invaluable contributions to the community and the field,” the foundation said in a statement.
