CURRENT PROJECTS
The Tikvah Fellowship is a paid one-year program for exceptional individuals interested in the political, religious, and intellectual future of the Jewish people. The fellowship is based in New York City, and each fellow receives a stipend of between $30,000 and $75,000, depending on age, experience, and financial need.
The Tikvah Center on Law and Jewish Civilization at New York University will support research and teaching that explores the contribution of the Jewish legal and philosophical tradition to our understanding of law and civic life.
TIKVAH at Princeton University
The Tikvah Project on Jewish Thought at Princeton University will support new teaching and research on the great human questions, bringing Jewish thought and ideas into conversation with other philosophical and theological traditions of Western Civilization.
TIKVAH SUMMER SEMINARS
The Tikvah Fund sponsors summer seminars in Jewish thought for graduate and undergraduate students. Participants from schools around the world study great texts and ideas from the Jewish intellectual tradition with gifted and renowned faculty. Seminars take place at Princeton University and the Ein Prat Academy for Leadership, outside Jerusalem.
TIKVAH HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS PROGRAMS
Tikvah is partnering with seven leading Jewish day schools to promote the serious consideration of Jewish thought and enduring human questions. Students from participating schools will have an opportunity to explore the great contributions of Jewish thought to human self-understanding and discover how the great classics of philosophy, political thought, literature, and theology inform the Jewish future. Along with an intense in-school curriculum, students will travel to prestigious academic institutions to participate in high-level study and exploration.
CLASSICAL HEBREW PROGRAM AT THE MIDDLEBURY LANGUAGE SCHOOLS
In the summer of 2012, under the Tikvah Fund's sponsorship, the Middlebury Language Schools will offer an intensive four-week program in biblical and modern Hebrew. Middlebury has offered excellent summer language programs for many years, including a program in Hebrew. This expanded offering is a reflection of the Tikvah Fund's commitment to enriching encounters with great texts of the Jewish tradition and deepening the possibilities for cultural exchange with citizens of the modern state of Israel. Tikvah believes that all students' encounters with Jewish canonical sources will be profoundly enriched by facility with the Hebrew language.
