The Genesis Prize was founded in 2012 and is an award given annually. This award is given to Jewish People who show excellence in their field. This prize is to show people that they should be proud of being Jewish.

Journey to the Holy Land

No matter what religion you are a journey to the Holy Land of Israel is something spiritual, and enlightening. It is truly inspiring to see how these players felt on their journey to their Holy Land. No matter how long you spend in Israel there is always more to see.

These American Football players traveled to the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea, and Jerusalem. Many of these players said they found their trip transformative and enlightening. The media abroad does not show Israel’s best side. Coming to Israel and seeing things with your own eyes will change your perspective of Israel.

Additionally, seeing pictures of Israel doesn’t do the place justice. You have to come and experience it. There is no greater feeling than walking up to the Western Wall and touching it. Knowing all the history that happened here it’s truly amazing to be walking the same path.

Finally, one of the players said: “This place is so beautiful it is impossible to put into words”. I agree with this 100%, Israel is such a beautiful place you should come see it for yourself.
