The Genesis Prize Ceremony 2022

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.
