Nominations for our 2026 recipients

Each year, Temple Kol Emeth honors individuals in our community with the Avodah Award for Community Service. As we look forward to the 2026 Gala evening, we ask you to help us honor those who give so much back to our community. We appreciate your input about those who you feel best exemplify the purpose of the Avodah Award: to recognize those heroes and heroines performing community service for the progress and betterment of TKE and our community. 

If you have questions about the Avodah Award or the nomination process, please reach out to Sandi Davis.

Nominations are requested by November 21, 2025.

Below is a partial list of previous Avodah Award recipients. While many have continued to serve the community, we want to offer the 2026 award to dedicated supporters of TKE who have not yet received the award.
