Please join us on the evening of October 6th as we come together to celebrate these dedicated community leaders
Meredith and Jim Friedman
and
Kathy and Dr. Louis Claybon
Nearly 48 years ago, Justin Friedman received the American Jewish Committee's Human Rights Medallion in recognition of his dedication to building understanding between Jewish and non-Jewish communities, his leadership as President of the Cincinnati Chapter of AJC, and his involvement in numerous organizations. Together, Justin and his wife, Frances, established a family tradition of community service that has spanned generations. Today, that legacy lives through his children, Jim and Meredith Friedman, and Kathy and Louis Claybon, whose collective leadership and contributions to Jewish life and the Greater Cincinnati community are being recognized with the 2026 AJC Community Service Award.
