The B’nai B’rith Victoria Menorah Awards were established in 1978. They are presented annually to worthy recipients who:

have worked for the welfare of the community, and
have not previously received a National or State Government recognition Award.

Eligibility:

Menorah Awards will be presented to individuals who have performed voluntary work of benefit to the community, usually over a long period.
Recipients will usually be members of the Jewish community. Members of other faiths, who have contributed significantly in relation to the Jewish community, may also be considered.
Nominations must be made on the Menorah Awards nomination form (CLICK HERE), obtainable from the B’nai B’rith Victoria office.
Nominators will be asked to suggest two referees that the Committee may consult. All nominations will be handled confidentially.
Nominees are not to be informed that they are being considered for an Award until after the selection process is complete. Only successful nominees will be notified.

Judging Criteria:

All nominations will be considered by the Menorah Awards Committee. Awards will be offered to individuals who

have furthered religious, educational and social welfare by their communal work, for which they have not previously been recognised, and
have performed such work on a voluntary basis, usually over a considerable period of time.

The Committee will assess each nomination in the frame of the above criteria, and it may seek additional information and/or clarification, either from the nominator or other sources, before advising successful candidates of the outcome of its deliberations.

General:
Nominators of successful candidates will be asked to prepare the citation and a brief talk about the candidate for presentation at the Awards Ceremony in November. Prior to this they are asked to nominate a sponsor, who will prepare the citation for presentation at the Awards Ceremony in November.
