The Lubetkin Media Companies has won seven JASPER Awards from the Jersey Shore Public Relations and Advertising Association (JSPRAA) for its audio and video productions.

In 2013, the firm won an unprecedented seventh Silver JASPER Award in the “Television and Video – Video News Release” category, for two video news reports it prepared on behalf of PSE&G Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. One video news report featured a formal prom event held at the hospital for patients of all ages, including several teens who were missing their own high school prom because of treatment at the hospital.

The other report featured the hospital’s window washing company, whose workers volunteered to dress as Spiderman and Batman while rappelling down the side of the hospital, providing young patients with a surprise diversion from physical therapy and other treatments. The two superheroes also toured the hospital and posed for photos with the children and their families.

In 2012, the firm won a Gold JASPER Award in the Television/Video Documentary (10-30 minutes) category for its video tribute, “Leon Levy Honored by Congregation Mikveh Israel,” produced to honor Levy, president of the Philadelphia-based congregation, the second oldest synagogue in North America, for more than 30 years. The video was shown at Levy’s retirement gala at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, which was attended by 300 guests including the late US Sen. Arlen Specter and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.

The firm also earned a 2012 Silver JASPER Award in the Television/Video TV Special Programming category for a documentary about Congregation Mikveh Israel’s dedication of a new Torah scroll. The video captures the special “siyyum” ceremony to mark the completion of the scroll by a special scribe known as a sofer and includes interviews with the sofer, remarks by the synagogue’s rabbi, Rabbi Albert Gabbai, and shows scenes from the celebration.
