The David and Janet W. Goldsmith Teen Kavod Gadol Award was established in memory of the Goldsmiths by their daughters to honor their commitment, leadership, involvement and support for community service. This year, the award went to Ethan Nguyen, an 18-year-old senior at Bexley High School at the JCC of Greater Columbus’ 2024 Teen Awards on May 5. Nguyen said the prompt “jumped out at him” because a large part of his life throughout high school is putting community service first. “Whether it’s working in the special education center at my school or working alongside other Jewish members of the community at the JCYF and the Wexner Service Corp., that’s a big part of what I’ve done growing up,” Nguyen told the Columbus Jewish News.
