To Submit Your Nomination, Please CLICK HERE. Nominations Must Be Submitted by November 15, 2019 Dear friend, We are writing to invite you to nominate one or more candidates to be the 2020 Genesis Prize Laureate. Throughout history, Jewish people around the world have attained excellence in their professional fields and made significant contributions to society. The Genesis Prize celebrates Jewish talent and achievement by honoring individuals with a $1 million award. All previous laureates – Michael Bloomberg, Michael Douglas, Itzhak Perlman, Anish Kapoor, Natalie Portman, Robert Kraft, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – have chosen to forego the cash prize so that funds can be directed to philanthropic causes that each found personally resonant and significant for the Jewish people and for Israel. As a recent participant in Onward Israel, your demonstrated connection to Israel and the Jewish people propels the mission of the Genesis Prize forward and your perspective is invaluable. Please consider the following criteria that must be met by a potential candidate. The Selection Committee will only consider Jewish candidates who have: • Attained international renown for exceptional success in their professional fields; • Made a positive contribution to humankind through social activism, public service, or philanthropy; • Demonstrated pride in their Jewish identity and a connection/commitment to the Jewish community and/or the State of Israel. To submit your nomination, please CLICK HERE. Nominations must be submitted by November 15, 2019. Please direct any questions to [email protected]. Thank you for your time, your interest, and your inspirational ideas. Sincerely, Ilan Wagner Sana Britavsky CEO Deputy CEO Onward Israel The Genesis Prize Foundation .

  • Export of Corrosion: How Practices from Russia Penetrate And
    Export of Corrosion: How Practices from Russia Penetrate and Undermine US and UK Prepared for a panel discussion “Export of Russian Corruption: From Kremlin with Hate” at the annual Convention of The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), Boston, November 21-24, 2013 Ilya Zaslavskiy – [email protected] November 16, 2013 Executive summary • Since Cold War US and UK governments chose to oppose Russia only on traditional hardcore criminal issues (arms control, espionage, outright crime, etc.) but neglect highly questionable and ethically debatable practices and appease Kremlin in exchange for nuclear proliferation and select regional cooperation issues (e.g. Iran, Korea, Afghanistan, arguably Syria). • Below is a detailed analytical update on 6 hardcore and 13 highly questionable/debatable layers of export of corrosive practices from Russia based on a thorough overview of data since Putin’s grab of power in 2000. • The main argument of the report is that neglected layers of corrosion, although less harmful at a first glance, are nevertheless extremely dangerous in the long run as they undermine democratic values, institutions and practices in US and UK and can undermine national security by importing Russian practices to the West. • New forms of corrosion export often come without direct support of Russian state but through corporations or powerful individuals connected to Putin’s regime. 1 • US and UK governments, media and opinion-makers should be bolder in filtering and counter- acting penetration of Russian corrosive practices in international organizations, internet, western media, legal and financial system, elections, lobbying, think-tanks, universities, real estate. While the exact terming of this new containment/filtering and its extent requires more research and public discussion, this report tries to synthetize most basic and initial policy suggestions for each layer in one summary table at the end.
