Unsung Heroes, which began in 2010, shines a light on individuals of any background or faith who generously volunteer or go above and beyond to help the St. Louis Jewish community, and Jewish St. Louisans who volunteer, either within the local Jewish community and/or the community at large. Since its inception, more than 140 St. Louisans have been honored.

To learn more about each honoree, be sure to check out the Light’s Unsung Heroes magazine, which will be published and distributed in the printed newspaper Nov. 5 and appear online in the days that follow.
