Barbra Streisand is set to be honored with the prestigious Genesis Prize, often referred to as the "Jewish Nobel Prize."
The accomplished singer and actress will receive the award, which includes a one-million-dollar prize. Expressing her pride in her Jewish heritage, Streisand emphasized her close connection to the values of Tikun Olam, or repairing the world.
The Genesis Prize Foundation recently declared that Barbra Streisand, the renowned Hollywood actress and singer, will be the recipient of its annual award. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles in October, precisely a decade after the inaugural winner, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was announced.
Highlighting the extensive support Streisand garnered over the years, the foundation revealed that she received tens of thousands of nominations and votes for the Genesis Prize. The unanimous endorsement by the selection and awards committees reflects the overwhelming admiration from the global Jewish community.
Streisand expressed her delight at receiving the special 10th-anniversary Genesis Prize and pledged to collaborate with the Genesis Prize Foundation to support organizations dedicated to societal improvement and humanity.
The Genesis Prize, often dubbed the "Jewish Nobel Prize" by Time magazine, is an annual million-dollar prize. It aims to recognize and honor exceptional Jewish individuals who align their actions with their values, make substantial contributions to humanity, and inspire future generations of the Jewish community.
