The new Edward H. Rosen Hillel Center at Temple was the setting for the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia's Young Leadership Awards program. Federation President and Temple Trustee Leonard Barrack stated that the honorees share a common commitment to Jewish continuity. "Each of us at one point in our lives realized that preserving our Jewish community, its culture and its values, and ensuring Israel's future were important endeavors," he said. "And to that end, we all stood up to be counted, to volunteer, to learn, to lead."
