Lodge Galil presented the Mitzvah Man Award for this year to Scott Gardner.

On presenting the award, HOD Galil President Bro. Joe Blog said that HOD greatly appreciates the extremely generous support that Scott has provided for the Lodge and the worthwhile charities it supports.  Joe continued to add that Scott is an extremely valuable member of the Hebrew Order of David Galil family in Houston. Many of the HOD Galil members work diligently, providing many acts of kindness throughout Houston and the surrounding areas.  It was difficult to select a single person to receive this award, but Scott is an excellent recipient.

It is intended that this becomes an annual award, presented each year to a Lodge member going above and beyond the norm for Mitzvah activities.

This year alone, HOD Galil has provided charitable support for many local Jewish Charities including the Federation, JFS, Friendship Circle, Aishel House, Count Me In (BBYO), Seven Acres, Meals-on Wheels, Hebrew Free Loan Association, Goldberg Towers and Chai House in Dallas.
