For today, I wrote about the Victor Goldberg IIE Prize for Peace in the Middle East.

It was created and endowed by Goldberg and the Institute of International Education, which administers the Fulbright Students and Scholars and the Humphrey Scholars for the State Department and offers corporate training and scholarship programs.

Goldberg, who is retired from IBM, returned from Jerusalem last week where this year’s winners were honored.

You can see Goldberg and the two winners—Aziz Abu Sarah and Lily Yaffe—here.

Abu Sarah and Yaffe work together to bring about tolerance and reconciliation as members of the “Parent Circle-Families Forum,”:http://www.theparentscircle.org/ a group for bereaved families. They speak to young Israelis and Palestinians about their personal loss and their unwillingness to seek revenge and encourage students to examine their own feelings of suspicion and fear.

This is the fourth year the prize was awarded.

Previous winners were the founders of a Jewish-Arab school; the creators of an Arab Jewish Community Center in Jaffa, and two professors for a shared history project, “Learning Each Other’s Historical Narrative.”
