Ayal Weiner-Kaplow Honored by JUF
Kol Hakavod to Rabbi Eitan and Dawn Weiner-Kaplow’s son Ayal, who has
just been named to the “Double Chai in the Chi: 36 Under 36” list of
influential young Jewish leaders in Chicago. Presented by JUF’s Young
Leadership Division (YLD) and Oy!Chicago -- an outreach website for Chicagoans in their 20s and 30s -- the list shines a spotlight on the faces of Chicago's Jewish
future and recognizes the amazing contributions of this generation. The young
professionals featured are noted for making a difference through their work,
giving back in their free time, and earning distinction in the Jewish community
and beyond. Read more about Ayal and his fellow honorees on Oy!Chicago.com. Mazel tov to the
entire Weiner-Kaplow family!
