Dr. Miriam Adelson was honored by the Israeli-American Council in Los Angeles on Sunday with its “Defender of Am Yisrael, The People of Israel, Lifetime Achievement Award,” the organization said. The award was presented at the IAC’s Los Angeles regional gala, “Together We Rise: One Heart, Israel 78,” in recognition of Adelson’s support for Israel, the Jewish people, and efforts to secure the return of hostages, after all 20 living Israeli hostages held by Hamas returned to Israeli territory.
