The Genesis Prize
Sometimes referred to as the “Jewish Nobel,” the Genesis Prize “celebrates Jewish talent and achievement, honoring individuals for their accomplishments and commitment to Jewish values, inspiring Jews to connect to their heritage and to Israel.” Its mission is “to foster Jewish identity, inspire Jewish pride and strengthen the bond between Israel and the Diaspora.”
Recipients of the prize receive $1 million, which is typically donated by them to one or more charities of their choice.
