Former Premier Golda Meir was one of seven Israelis honored here last night by being awarded the Israel Prize for 1975. Bespectacled after two recent cataract operations, Mrs., Meir received warm applause from an invitation audience at the Jerusalem Theater as she accepted her award for “lifelong services to Israeli state and society.”
Other recipients of the prize were Supreme Court Justice Yoel Sussman; Hebrew University law professor Aharon Barak; educator Arye Simon, director of the Ben-Shemen children’s village; actress Miriam Bernstein-Cohen; literary critic and educator Prof. Shimon Halkin; and Dr. Helena Kagan a well-known Jerusalem pediatrician. She received a special award to mark International Women’s Year.
