This is the second year for the list, which is dedicated to “organizations or individuals who have positively influenced Jewish life this past year…These 100 people who have the most positive impact on Jewish life and Israel, men and women, Jew or non-Jew, who have lifted the quality of Jewish life in the past year. Without these 100 individuals or the organizations they represent – Jewish life would not be at the caliber it is today.”
The following is Mariaschin’s profile, listed in the Community section, with description in its entirety:
