He was previously honoured by the New York Board of Rabbis, when Rabbi Potasnik noted “While making the film, “Paper Clips” which chronicles a middle school project in the small southeastern Tennessee town of Whitwell, that turned into a world renowned memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, Mr. Hiltzik maintained his traditional Jewish lifestyle; he donned tefillin everyday and never slacked off in his observance in a place where he was one of the very few Jews.”
