2020 President Joshua Kirsh was awarded Union Leader of the Year, while AUJS Queensland won Developing Jewish Student Association of the Year, and the Monash Jewish Students Society (MonJSS) took home Local Jewish Student Association of the Year.
Joshua Kirsh sid: “This year has come with its share of challenges and surprises, but also with so many opportunities to make a difference. I feel so proud of everything we were able to do as a team to provide value to Jewish students across Australasia and keep AUJS strong. I only hope I’ve given AUJS as much as it has given me, and I’m honoured that WUJS has recognised all that we’ve been able to achieve this year.”
AUJS Queensland 2020 President Carly Rosenberg commented: “This year has seen a lot of growth for AUJS Queensland – even in the middle of a global pandemic! We’ve had fantastic events and brought some excited new team members on board. It’s a privilege to have that progress recognised by WUJS and we look forward to delivering even more for Jewish students in Queensland in 2021.”
Monash Jewish Students Society 2020 President Isabel Gelb added: “Our executive were all thrilled to receive the local JSA award! It reminded us how important MonJSS’ continued presence is for Jewish students at Monash; especially in 2020 where so many felt disconnected and isolated from their community.”
