Seven individuals and one very large group will be recognized as the 2020 Jewish Light Unsung Heroes at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19. This year’s 11th annual event will be streamed live on the Light’s Facebook page and on its website at stljewishlight.com free of charge, although registration is required at stljewishlight.com/unsung.

Unsung Heroes, which began in 2010, shines a light on individuals of any background or faith who generously 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. 

This year’s heroes are:

• Allen and Ronnie Brockman
• Mark Dana
• Aleeza Granote
• Sheryl Kalman
• Steve Rosenblum
• Alan Spector
• Back to School! Store (a program of the National Council of Jewish Women-St. Louis)

Look for more information about the honorees in upcoming editions of the Light and profile stories about each Unsung Hero in a special section of the paper and online Nov. 19.
