The Nobel Prize is an annual, international prize first awarded in 1901 for achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. An associated prize in Economics has been awarded since 1969.[1] Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 850 individuals,[2] of whom at least 20% were Jews, although Jews comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population[3] (or 1 in every 500 people). Overall, Jews have won a total of 41% of all the Nobel Prizes in economics, 28% of medicine, 26% of physics, 19% of chemistry, 13% of literature and 9% of all peace awards.[4]

Jews have been recipients of all six awards. The first Jewish recipient, Adolf von Baeyer, was awarded the prize in Chemistry in 1905. Albert A. Michelson, the first American to win the Nobel prize in 1910, was born into a Jewish family, although he was agnostic. As of 2020, the most recent unambiguously Jewish recipients are physiology or medicine laureate Harvey J. Alter, literature laureate Louise Glück and economics laureate Paul Milgrom. The 2020 physics laureate Andrea Ghez is of Jewish heritage by patrilineal descent.[5]

Jewish laureates Elie Wiesel and Imre Kertész survived the extermination camps during the Holocaust,[6] while François Englert and Roald Hoffman survived by being hidden.[7] Others, such as Walter Kohn, Otto Stern, Albert Einstein, Hans Krebs and Martin Karplus had to flee Nazi Germany to avoid persecution.[8][9][10] Still others, including Rita Levi-Montalcini, Herbert Hauptman, Salvador Luria, Robert Furchgott, Arthur Kornberg, and Jerome Karle experienced significant antisemitism in their careers.[9][11]

Arthur Ashkin, a 96-year-old American Jew, was, at the time of his award, the oldest person to receive a Nobel Prize.[12][13]

This list includes those who were brought up as Jews by one or both parents, including those who do not practise or follow any belief. It does not include those who were not Jewish at the time of the Nobel award or who do not consider themselves to be Jewish.

Nobel Laureate Walk

The Israeli city of Rishon LeZion has an avenue in the design of a boardwalk, dedicated to honouring all Nobel laureates with any connection to Judaism. The street, called Tayelet Hatanei Pras Nobel (Nobel Laureates Boulevard), has a monument with attached plaque for each Nobel laureate.

Forced to decline prize

Boris Pasternak, a Russian Jew, winner of the 1958 prize for literature, initially accepted the award, but—after intense pressure from Soviet authorities—subsequently declined it.[261][262][263][264]

Nobel Laureates Boulevard

Monument and plaque honoring 2002 Economics Laureate Daniel Kahneman on Nobel Laureates Boulevard/Promenade in Rishon LeZion Israel.

The Israeli city of Rishon LeZion has a street in it dedicated to honoring all Jewish Nobel laureates. The street, called Tayelet Hatnei Pras Nobel (Nobel Laureates Boulevard/Promenade), has a monument with attached plaque for each Nobel laureate.[64]

"It's a very rich culture, and I'm attracted to that side of it. I listen to klezmer — I'm actually a clarinetist myself. And there are certain Jewish foods I'm especially fond of — latkes, chopped liver, chicken soup with matza balls. I like to cook, and a lot of the things I cook have been handed down — a stuffed cabbage recipe I'm fond of, a meat pie recipe. I saw my grandmother do them."
