Amir Bernstein (LAW’01) and Daniela Gnaegi-Bernstein (LAW’01) of Zurich, Switzerland, were awarded a 2022 Swiss Human Rights Award for their work as co-presidents of Kiriat Yearim Switzerland,  which founded in 1951 an at-risk youth village in the town of Kiriat Yearim, Israel. The youth village accepts young disadvantaged people (including Israeli-Arabs) and offers opportunities for education, enrichment, and a broad range of therapeutic interventions.
