Times of Israel reporter Zev Stub is among the recipients of this year’s B’nai B’rith’s award for journalism, recognizing excellence in diaspora reportage.

The annual award, established in 1992 to help strengthen the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora, is among the most prestigious prizes in the Israeli media industry for diaspora reportage.

Stub won in the category of written media, B’nai B’rith International said Thursday night. For broadcast media, Tamar Ish Shalom was recognized for her Jewish People Policy Institute podcast, “Jewish Crossroads,” dealing with the effects of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on US Jewry and its relations to Israel.

A lifetime achievement Award was given to Oren Nahari, anchor and editor of “Shabbat with Oren Nahari” on Kan Reshet Bet radio and longtime foreign news editor (1985-2016) at the Israel Broadcasting Authority.

Stub has been The Times of Israel’s diaspora reporter since November 2024. He was recognized for a series of articles on Jewish communities in France and Canada, immigration to Israel, the Birthright program, and Israeli and Jewish academia.

Stub made aliyah from Chicago and graduated in 2000 from Yeshiva University in New York. Previously, he founded and ran Janglo, which was the largest online community for English speakers in Israel.
