Best of Jewish Baltimore Winners

0

You nominated, you voted and now here they are — the winners of the Baltimore Jewish Times’ annual Best of Jewish Baltimore reader’s choice competition.

From the best diner to the best senior center and everything in between, these winners represent our readers’ favorite businesses, services and nonprofits in the Baltimore area.

Every year, we provide community members an opportunity to submit nominations in these categories, and then they vote on who they think the winners should be. Across two issues, we present the winners and runners-up in dozens of different categories.

In this week’s issue, see the first batch of winners and runners-up in the food, life cycle, medical, personal services and senior categories.

Stay tuned next week for camps, education, community/recreation, kosher food, home services and retail.

Please join us in celebrating these winners!
