HLRS Peace Award
Recognizing outstanding contributions to interfaith dialogue, peace, and coexistence.
About the Award
Awarded annually since 2023
The HLRS Peace Award is presented annually to an individual or organization that has made outstanding contributions to interfaith dialogue, peacebuilding, and coexistence in Israel, the Middle East, or globally.
The award reflects the core mission of the Haifa Laboratory for Religious Studies: to demonstrate that religion can serve as a bridge for constructive discourse rather than a source of division.
