Pillars of the Community Awards 2026

At the 26th Annual Pillars of the Community Awards, we will proudly recognize Robert Kivort, Scott and Ellen Hollander, and Garry and Jane Sanders—individuals whose commitment to the greater Jewish community embodies the core values of the Pillars: learning, service, and acts of kindness.

The Sidney Albert Albany Jewish Community Center warmly invites you to be part of this special celebration on Monday, May 18, 2026, joining us to honor leaders whose generosity, dedication, and compassion have strengthened our community.

We also look forward to celebrating the recipients of the 2026 Applebaum and Bellin Awards, Samual Gilboord and Kyla Katz.
