2026 Unity Award Honoree: Levi Stein

As executive director of The Friendship Circle of Wisconsin, the rabbi creates opportunities for adults with disabilities through the Friendship Cafe, Bakery, & Art Studio in Fox Point. But since the pandemic, Stein has also directed the organization into mental health issues, creating the “Wish You Knew” podcast for and by teens, and leading dozens of SafeTALK suicide-prevention trainings, an effort catalyzed by the 2024 death of his friend Ald. Jonathan Brostoff.

Levi is part of our 2026 Unity Awards cohort, honoring individuals whose work strengthens Milwaukee and supports our community in meaningful, often unseen ways.

Join us as we celebrate Levi and all of this year’s Unity Award honorees at the Unity Awards Event on Tuesday, February 24, at Jan Serr Studio. As we come together for an evening of connection, reflection and community.
