This year marks our 15th Mensch issue. The dozen individuals profiled here reflect their commitment to the local community and beyond. 

This year’s honorees include a recovering addict who hosts support groups in his home for people struggling with substance abuse; a man whose West Hollywood garden educates visitors about exotic plant life; an Iranian whose website compiles and disseminates Persian Jewish history; and a woman who left corporate law to collect diapers, cribs and other essentials for low-income families with young children. 

To our wonderful mishpachah of readers and mitzvah-doers, thank you for 15 years of menschiness. May there be many more to come.

Sincerely, 

The Jewish Journal
