2015 Genesis Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2015 Genesis Prize was awarded to actor and producer Michael Douglas. It was the second awarding of the Genesis Prize[1][2] after it was first awarded to Michael Bloomberg in 2014.[3]
Douglas was chosen "both for his professional achievements and for his passion for his Jewish heritage and the Jewish state."[4]
On hearing the news Douglas said,“I share this award with my family, who encouraged me in my exploration of the Jewish faith. I hope these teachings and values will be part of the legacy in the world that I leave for my children and those who follow.”[5]
