OU To Sponsor Jew in the City’s Jewish All-Stars Awards Party in NYC
The Orthodox Union has signed on as a sponsor of Jew in the City’s 2013 Yeshaya Fischl Jewish All-Stars Awards Celebration, featuring U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and Nobel Laureate Robert Aumann, among the ten honorees.
Jew in the City (jewinthecity.com ) is an organization founded by award-winning Jewish influencer Allison Josephs with the goal of re-branding Orthodox Jews and Judaism to the world through digital media and by doing so, to reverse the negative perception of Orthodox Jews and Judaism. “Our mission,” Ms. Josephs declares, is “to break down stereotypes about religious Jews and offer a humorous, meaningful outlook into Orthodox Judaism.”
The Second Annual Awards party will be held Sunday, November 24, just prior to Chanukah and Thanksgiving, on Manhattan’s West Side starting at 7:00PM. VIP red carpet pre-party is at 6:30. The exact location will be sent to those who have purchased tickets.
“While far too many stories in the media track alleged misdeeds of observant Jews — and there is ultimately nobody to blame for that except for those individuals — the overwhelmingly positive, beautiful contributions to society made by Torah-observant Jews often go unmentioned,” observed Rabbi Steven Weil, executive vice president of the Orthodox Union. “At JewInTheCity.com, Ms. Josephs skillfully employs social media, and heavy doses of candor, humor and wit, to correct misperceptions of Orthodox life held by Jews and non-Jews alike and, when appropriate, even seeks to set the record straight. Allison has taken on the role of PR agent for Torah Judaism and the Orthodox Union is proud to support her work.”
This year’s All-Stars include the following categories and individuals:
Law and Government, Jack Lew, U.S. Treasury Secretary
Law and Government, Joseph Shenker, Chairman of Sullivan and Cromwell
Law and Government, Anne Neuberger, Director of the National Security Agency/Commercial Solutions Center

Business and Industry, Rabbi Issamar Ginzberg, Inc. Top 10 Entrepreneur and Marketing Guru
Business and Industry, Sarah Hofstetter, CEO of 360i U.S. Ad Agency
“This year’s All-Stars are an extremely accomplished and diverse group,” Ms. Josephs declared. “With the gala taking place right before the rare and historic confluence of Chanukah and Thanksgiving, we will celebrate the freedom our great country provides us which allows Jews to soar to the tops of their fields while staying true to their heritage.”
Many of the honorees are expected to be present at the event, which is sponsored in memory of Yeshaya ben Moshe Mordechai Dov. Other sponsors include Freeda Wigs, Kosher Scene, Baker's Dozen, and Rabbi Daniel Cohen of Cong. Agudath Shalom in Stamford, CT.
