This month, we were greeted with the wonderful news that one of JPBLD's Board Members, Dr. Dalia Fadila, was awarded the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor from Issac Herzog in recognition for her work to strengthen education in Israel. JPBLD is JPB's Israeli affiliate, and Dr. Dalia has been instrumental in helping us launch new programs in Central Israel and East Jerusalem. Her son, Hameed, and daughter, Yasmeen, are graduates of JPB's summer institutes.
