Ten individuals will be recognized as the 2018 Jewish Light Unsung Heroes at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 17 at the Jewish Community Center Arts & Education Building, 2 Millstone Campus Drive. 

The annual event, which began in 2010, shines a light on individuals who volunteer to help the St. Louis Jewish community, and Jewish St. Louisans who volunteer not only within the local Jewish community but also the community at-large. Event chairs are former Unsung Heroes Suzanne Epstein- Lang (2017) and Betsy Mehlman (2016).

This year’s Heroes are:

• Jan Abrams 
• Steve Gorin 
• Susie Spitzer Kinsella 
• Susan Kottler 
• David Lander 
• Arik Levy 
• Sophie Malik 
• Hannah Maurer 
• Maxine Mirowitz
• Robert Stein
