Daniel S. Whitebook's life is a testament to the enduring power of family, faith, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and community service. For nearly three decades, he has been one of Kloda Whitebook Kesher Academy's most devoted champions.

His life so perfectly reflects the values the award was created to celebrate that it was subsequently renamed the Daniel S. Whitebook Mensch Award in his honor — ensuring that future recipients would forever be measured against the standard of integrity, humility, compassion, and service that he has exemplified.
