Itzhak Perlman Wins Israel’s $1M Genesis Prize (And He’s Giving Away The Money)

“Perlman joins former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the actor Michael Douglas as recipients of the annual $1 million prize that has been dubbed the ‘Jewish Nobel.’ … Established in 2012 by a consortium of Russian Jewish philanthropists, the prize is presented annually to someone who has achieved international renown in their professional field and serves as a role model through their commitment to Jewish values.”
