Jews, God and the Nobel Prize
May 17, 2012 - Israel - Middle East
J.L. Robb
Last week I read yet another article about a scientific, medical breakthrough coming out of Israel. It’s certainly not an ''unusual'' event. There have been many Nobel Prize winners from the Jewish community, more than any other single community. So are they ''different'' than mankind in general?
