Posted By on June 16, 2017

More than 350 leading citizens and government officials joined the Anti-Defamation League Tuesday to honor community leaders in Greater New Haven.

The ADL presented its Torch of Liberty Award to Asma Farid and Tariq Farid, the founder and CEO of Edible Arrangements. Lindy Lee Gold was honored with the Distinguished Community Leadership Award at Congregation Bnai Jacob, in Woodbridge.

The Torch of Liberty Award is presented annually to outstanding citizens and corporations whose extraordinary work has helped to strengthen the Greater New Haven community, according to the release. The Distinguished Community Leadership Award recognizes outstanding citizens who contribute to building strong communities that are open to all people without regard to race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

It was an unforgettable evening, said ADL Connecticut Director Steve Ginsburg in the release. Asma, Tariq and Lindy truly (are) deserving honorees, and each spoke beautifully about their journeys and the ADL values that guided them along the way. With all the divisiveness in the world today, we were blessed to have an inclusive and celebratory event. ... Last night made clear to us all that the Greater New Haven community is essential to our goal of creating a world without hate.
