"I am honoured to be the 2020 recipient of the Sarna-Weigensberg Award from the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies. Adding the Israel Studies minor to my Bachelor’s Degree was the best and most rewarding academic decision I've ever made. This award has further inspired me to dive deeper into learning about Judaism and Israel." - Lisa Komlos
