Essays not selected will not be returned to their authors. The PIJ was able to offer this prize thanks to the generous donation of the PIJ’s Editorial Board member, Dr. Simha Bahiri and his family. Questions can be directed to heidi.pij[at]gmail.comI was thinking of writing an essay, using my Assuming the Worse About the Other idea, but I no longer live in Israel and it's much easier to write about peace behind the safety of the US.
Anyway, God bless Dr. Simha Bahiri and his family. I'm going to check out this Palestine-Israel Journal.
