Fourth Annual Goldberg IIE Prize Recognizes Aziz Abu Sarah and Lily Yaffe as an Innovative Arab-Jewish Team Working Together To Advance Peace in the Middle East

At a reception in Jerusalem on June 24, U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Luis G. Moreno and U.S. Consulate General Deputy Principal Officer Thomas Duffy hosted a reception to honor the recipients of the 2008 Victor J. Goldberg IIE Prize for Peace in the Middle East. Lily Yaffe and Aziz Abu Sarah received the Goldberg IIE Prize for their work with The Parents Circle Family Forum, conducting educational activities that draw on their own very moving personal stories and the experiences of hundreds of bereaved Palestinian and Israeli families who have lost immediate family members due to the violence in the region.
