In 2013, he won the Wilbur Award from the Religion Communicators Council for his series Journey to Jerusalem.
Outside the newsroom, you can find Jonah still cheering on his hometown Philadelphia sports teams, playing tennis and ice hockey, or chanting and song leading with his guitar at area synagogues (he's a son of two rabbis!). He and his wife are the proud parents to three daughters.
