Join hundreds of other students in Years 7 & 8 and get involved with the world around you, through the Yoni Jesner Award!
The award's aim is to use Yoni's legacy to inspire young people to take their first steps to becoming active in their community. Give back by giving your time to your school, synagogue, local charity or beyond! Just a few hours of your time can make a huge difference.
The Yoni Jesner Award was set up in memory of Yoni Jesner,19 of Glasgow Scotland. An Inspirational youth leader and role model who was tragically killed in a suicide bombing on a bus in Tel Aviv, Israel on 19th September 2002.
Participants must volunteer for a minimum of 20 hours to receive the Yoni20 award, 50 hours for the Yoni50 and 100 hours for the Yoni100.
At the end of each year, we celebrate Yoni and the incredible efforts of our volunteers at the Yoni Jesner Award Ceremony. Here participants will receive their award for completing their volunteering and hear from inspirational speakers about Yoni’s legacy – Giving.
Amongst Yoni’ belongings were two pages of A4 with his handwriting. They are of Yoni’s thoughts on life; very brief, but incredibly insightful in one so young. He wasn’t writing them to show people, he wasn’t writing them to impress. He was writing them for himself – to live by and to think about.
