Defining Kutzpah/Chutzpah In his classic book "Chutzpah" Alan Dershowitz defines kutzpah, however spelt, as "boldness, assertivenes, a willingness to demand what is due, to challenge authority, to raise eyebrows". In this website we present instances -- and at times with the utmost chutzpah -- brazen non-instances of chutzpah. May these efforts embolden your approach to the world, and enrich society. There can never be too much chutzpah!

Julian Assange and Chutzpah How should one classify the endeavour known as WikiLeaks Perhaps one should turn to the period when Julian Assange was a committee member of the Melbourne University Mathematics Society, responsible for the questions that were posed in the (in)famous Mathematics Puzzle Hunt. In 2006 Team Corridor won this competition, using a most outrageous piece of chutzpah to deliberately mislead a close competing team. The story is told here. What is most significant is that blatant chutzpah was seen by the Committee as wholly within the spirit of the puzzle hunt. Need I add to the story published in 2006 the fact that Team Corridor won the Puzzle Hunt year after year until the leaders completed their doctorates and departed MU. (Or was it that Assange left MU? ) A Puzzle Hunt isn't it? And is it Chutzpah? There are nuances to chutzpah. Thus the above has nothing to do with Yossi Melman's claim of Assange's Chutzpah
