The Ruby Award is Jewish LearningWorks’ biennial celebration of Jewish educators and professionals who work with Jewish teens. In addition to honoring an outstanding teen educator from the community, the Ruby Award aims to elevate Jewish education by studying important issues that impact Jewish teens, and addressing the implications, challenges and opportunities for the educators who care for them, and help them grow.

For this year’s Ruby Award, we are excited to be joined by Pulitzer Prize winning author, and NYT science reporter Matt Richtel to deliver a keynote on his most recent book, How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence. Please join us!
