Aylit Schultz and Alon Chen

Aylit and Alon are recognized for their extraordinary volunteer leadership and dedication in bringing the Boston Unites Against Terror: Hostage Tunnel Immersive Exhibit to life. Through their tireless coordination, they helped create a powerful and deeply moving experience that brought together over 100 volunteers and 38 diverse organizations across political and religious lines. Their efforts not only engaged thousands of visitors including elected officials, diplomats, educators, and community leaders but also raised critical awareness about the ongoing humanitarian crisis facing the hostages held by Hamas. In addition, Aylit has organized countless rallies and programs supporting Israel. She brought people together for a rally to end the weaponization of sexual violence, a conference on the medical effects of prolonged captivity, and the weekly Run For Their Lives programs in Newton, to name a few. Thanks to their commitment and vision, Alon and Aylit’s work have left a lasting impression on the City of Boston and amplified the voices of those whose stories urgently need to be told.
