In a deeply moving moment at AJC Global Forum 2025, the sister of Laziza Dalil accepts a posthumous award honoring her late sister, and reflects on her life, legacy, and enduring impact.
With gratitude to AJC and special thanks to Jason Isaacson, Laziza’s sister shares heartfelt memories of Laziza — a brilliant, humble, and compassionate woman whose professional achievements and personal grace left a lasting mark on all who knew her. She describes how Laziza was a visionary advocate for Muslim-Jewish unity and a giant in building a more interconnected region. A co-founder of the Mimouna Association and renowned for preserving Moroccan Jewish memory and cultural heritage, Laziza will be remembered for tirelessly promoting Arab-Israeli and Muslim-Jewish cooperation and shared understanding.
Through touching anecdotes and a personal tribute, her sister reminds us of the power of quiet strength, dignity, and the actions that outlive us. Her words serve as a timeless reminder that true legacy is found not in status, but in sincerity.
