A profile article about the organization 'Amal-Tikva', which assists Israeli and Palestinian nonprofits, and its winning of the Vivian Silver Award. Silver's son, Yonatan Zeigen, argues that ignoring the peace vision led to October 7.

A profile article about the organization 'Amal-Tikva', founded in 2020 by Meredith Rothbart and Jadir Sabat-Kurt, which assists Israeli and Palestinian nonprofits and initiatives in building leadership and dealing with crises. The organization, with 12 employees, advises organizations in the West Bank and recently began operating in Gaza. Rothbart, a religious-Zionist, and Sabat-Kurt, a Palestinian, received the Vivian Silver Award at a ceremony last Thursday. The article also interviews Yonatan Zeigen, Silver's son, who argues that if people had listened to his mother's peace vision, October 7 would not have occurred. Zeigen was a co-founder of the 'Makom Lekulanu' party and speaks about healing through joint political-social activity.
