The 1958 Frank L. Weil Awards of the National Jewish Welfare Board have been voted to Mrs. Irving J. Sands, only woman member of the New York City Board of Education; Dr. Horace M. Kallen, eminent philosopher and educator, and Chaplain Joshua L. Goldberg, district chaplain of the Third Naval District. All are residents of New York.
Presentation of the awards–bronze medallions and engrossed citations–will be made Saturday evening, April 19, at the banquet session of JWB’s biennial national convention at the Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D. C. The Frank K. Weil awards have been given annually for JWB since 1951 for distinguished leadership and creativity in the organization’s three area of service. The awards are named for Frank L. Weil, late JWB president.
