s that help illuminate the American-Jewish experience and reflect on the commonality of being American. JASHP was founded in 1999 after the discovery by the founder, Jerry Klinger, of the first permanent Jewish house of worship in the territory of New Mexico (Temple Montefiore, Las Vegas, N.M.). JASHP has completed projects in 40 states and in 6 countries. Projects are constantly being developed and proposals are welcomed. Over 7,000,000 people a year benefit from JASHP projects. The society is a small organization. Each program is individualized with organizational participation from as few as two or three people to as many as 300. Considering JASHP's size, its impact has been disproportionately large. JASHP is the recipient of Hadassah's Myrtle Wreath Award, which is "given to individuals and non-profit organizations which have made significant humanitarian contributions to our community."
