Sculptor pledges $1mn 'Jewish Nobel Prize' to refugees
British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor has pledged his $1 million Genesis Prize, dubbed the Jewish Nobel Prize, to five charities helping refugees worldwide. "Directing funds to this cause is a way of helping people fleeing persecution," he said. Kapoor, who was born to an Indian father and Iraqi Jewish mother, won the award last year for his commitment to Jewish values.
