Jabotinsky Foundation awards
The Jabotinsky Centennial Medal was awarded in 1980, the centenary of Jabotinsky's birth, by the Jabotinsky Foundation of New York to 100 Americans who had performed distinguished service to the state of Israel and the Jewish people. The award was handed out to recipients by Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin at an awards dinner held in November in New York City.[1]

Riebenfeld and David Horowitz.[8] Senator Frank Church declined the award due in protest of it also being awarded to Falwell.[1]
In 1983, industrialist Eryk Spektor, chairman of the New York-based Jabotinsky Foundation, created and funded a $100,000 award named the Jabotinsky Prize - Shield of Jerusalem (also known as the Defender of Jerusalem Prize) to honour individuals, Jewish or non-Jewish, who are judged to have done the most in the previous two years "for the defense of the rights of the Jewish people."[9] The $100,000 prize was shared by US Senator Henry M. Jackson (posthumously), Soviet Jewish activist Iosif Begun, and former French Cabinet Minister Simone Veil in 1983[10] and US Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick and Operation Moses in 1985.[11] In 1986 former President of Costa Rica Luis Alberto Monge, former Swedish deputy prime minister Per Ahlmark, and Soviet dissident Eliyahu Essas shared the award.[12] Israeli philosopher and former Lehi activist Israel Eldad was awarded the prize for 1987/1988.[13] Other recipients have included former Soviet dissident Ida Nudel, industrialist Reuben Hecht, the LIBI Fund charity assisting Israeli soldiers, Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir,[14] New York Times editor A.M. Rosenthal, conductor Zubin Mehta, US secretary of state George Shultz, and civil rights activist Bayard Rustin.[15]
