Winter is finally over, and the Mensches are back with a brand new episode. Yanky Schorr continues his tour of Baltimore coffee tea shops and brings Jordan M. Halle, our latest Mensch, along for the ride.

Jordan Halle is one of two recipients of the 2023 Fred Walpert Young Leadership Award. Tea in hand, he and Yanky talk about growing The Associated’s Young Adult Division, the meaning of mensch and setting an example for future generations.

Born and bred in Baltimore, Jordan Halle is co-chair of the Ben-Gourion Society, part of The Associated’s Young Adult Division, with his wife Jess. He also serves on the Board of the Jewish Museum of Maryland and is a decorated attorney here in Baltimore.

The Fred Walpert Young Leadership Award is presented to two growing young leaders based on their involvement and effective leadership within The Associated community. Fred Walpert was a role model and mentor, inspiring colleagues and friends to take an active role in The Associated. Jordan Halle shares this honor with his co-recipient Pammy Franklin.

Congratulations to Jordan and Pammy!
