The Genesis Prize, sometimes referred to as “The Jewish Nobel”, fosters Jewish identity, inspires Jewish pride, and strengthens the bond between Israel and the Diaspora. The award celebrates Jewish talent and achievement by honoring individuals for their professional accomplishments, commitment to Jewish values, and contribution to improving the world. The annual one-million-dollar prize funds are directed to philanthropic enterprises in a field chosen by the laureate.

THINK has been creating and producing The Genesis Award Ceremony since its beginning in 2014. The ceremonies are held in the presence of the Israeli Prime Minister and hundreds of VIP guests from around the world, and hosted by acclaimed international talents such as Jay Leno, Helen Mirren, Martin Short and Bar Refaeli. For each ceremony we develop unique content related to that year’s laureate and the field to which the prize funds are directed. Around these themes we build a world design, hospitality and stage content which includes speeches, creative shows, performances, a meticulous and precise ceremonial part and performances by top-level artists, orchestras, bands and dancers. As a result, every Genesis Award Ceremony is a rich and special experience.

The 2019 Genesis Prize was awarded to Robert Craft, a businessman, owner of the New England Patriots football team and a strong supporter of The State of Israel. Mr. Kraft chose to dedicate the prize funds, along with a personal donation of 20 million dollars, to the fight against antisemitism and against the efforts to delegitimize Israel.
The main item of the event told the story of the war of the sons of light against the sons of darkness. 40 performers in a massive cubical set structure with video projection on it, acted a violent anti-Semitic rally that turns into a magnificent display of hope and brotherhood, with a shivering performance by singer Miri Mesika. The international-standards event was directed by Ran Tzahor and hosted by comedian Martin Short.
