What a wonderful arrow to add to an already prestigious quiver! We are all so proud of this shy and unassuming gifted professor. He truly represents the best of us.

what a country we have on one end a proffessor who recives a top honour and then we have the charideem who dont learn even the basic math. He is a shinning example to us all .

I bet his mum is really proud of him. Double helping of chop liver for Friday night , I think..

Let's see how long it would take him to master that

CONGRATUALTION TO PROFESSOR ELON LINDERNSTRAUSS FANTASTIC NEWS FOR YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD.

WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS Prof Lindenstrauss on your well-deserved award. We are proud of your achievement and contribution to mathematics. Best wishes to you, your colleagues at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and your partners overseas.

I wish Elon allways to keep his warm nobel clever look, reflecting science+conscience.May his work contribute to better this world.

....prize is handed out by the Nobel committee in mathematics. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

drivel that is rampant in the west to excellence in the Sciences, Maths and Languages. English, Math and Sciences along with Hebrew laguage and Jewish culture must take front row and centre in the school system. Israel has the opportunity to becoming the R@D capital of the world. China, those are the ones who have the money today will invest heavily in Israeli R@D in their pursuit to achieve world economic dominance. America is in meltdown mode...They produce more lawyers than scientists. They are the kings in BS management, social egineering and drivel control. Israel is primed to becoming a major economic hub indeed, a major economic player. The first step is education education education...Now is the time. Educate your young, push em to excellence and you will all reap the rewards.

sorry math related, anyway now the world knows he is a NERD, oh sorry forgot my manners, weldone Israeli NERD, bravo.

Mazal Tov kenina Hora what alot of nachas for the mishpucha and for the whole of Eretz Yisroel.Our Bachorim mutzlachim and chuchums.Kol Hakavod!!!

was not sitting in a yeshiva ! A GREAT Israeli guy who contributes to His Country and to Science .

He has serious work .

Can be compared to a Nobel prize , and is awarded by mathematicians from around the world . They can better recognise the merits of an individual . Great job done .

Leib ! This Man earns his bread in a honest way,while your Gemara scholars,live on alms,you want him to change places with you ?.The world can somehow survive without Gemara,but not without Math and science.

Prof Elon Lindenstraus wins Math prize: some people figure it out right.I wish the leaders of the country would do the same.

Can you tell me on which Book the code Napoleon,WEst europas legalsystem,Marxisme,Christianism,Islamisme,the United States legal system is based? In the same Tora,the Haredi are devoting their life.You are a proud jew,and you have all the reasons to be proud.

Does the prize come with any cash? Perhaps the professor could then invest in a comb! Just kidding, I know this is a very popular hair style among scientists and mathematicians. Rock on...

Hearty congratulations to Professor Lindenstrauss on a magnificent achievement. The reason for my subject heading is the thought that his life has been preserved for this,unlike the lives of so many Israelis and Jews.The examples of so many Jewish thinkers show much must have been lost to the world by the deplorable premature deaths,killings,of countless Jews.It's a loss that is inestimable. At least,in the State of Israel when there is some semblance of peace,Jews can aspire to reach their potentials and achieve them. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

I wonder why a specific press is overshadowing the fact that he is sharing the medal with two french and one swiss...

There were three other winners this year, including two Frenchmen and one Swiss guy, this article could at least mention them instead of making it look like Israel alone won the prize. Congrats to the winners anyway.

i answerred to this "leid" who talked about gemara . Without Torah people also don't murder , steal and so on . And , legal systems also take those ideas , who happen to be in the Torah . Don't forget that in many countries there is a separation between state and superstition [ sorry , religion for you ] and this is certtainly not Torah based .
