Since 2004, the Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland Award has honored women leaders who set a high standard for philanthropy and volunteerism. It was created as a tribute to Norma Kipnis-Wilson and Toby Friedlandz, who co-founded the Lion of Judah program in 1972. Lions of Judah who have demonstrated a lifetime of commitment to the Jewish world are selected by their peers to receive the Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland Award, which will be presented to Newman at the biennial International Lion of Judah Conference in January 2019.
