FEATURED JOBS
More recognition for former JT Editor, Phil Jacobs. While he’s gotten a lot more ink from out-of-town media except for the great cover story in the Baltimore City Paper, Phil now received a Best in Baltimore kudos from Baltimore Magazine.
Phil was chosen as best “Crusading Editor” under its local media section for his work to uncover sexual abuse among the rabbinate. The awards are great recognition for a job well done, and I think we’re both more pleased that Baltimore’s Jewish organizations instituted real change after these allegations came to light. I’m thinking of TA and the rabbinical association changing it policies, or Rabbi Adler speaking from the bema, acknowledging his synagogues errors over many years.
All this brought great comfort to the hundreds of innocent victims. I’m sure Phil appreciates this Best in Baltimore award in 2011, and shares it with the brave people who came forward to tell their stories.
