The Tikvah High School Summer Institute at Yale is two-week, residential academic program for high school students and recent graduates interested in Jewish thought, philosophy, and politics. The core of the Institute will be twice-daily, university-level seminars focusing on some of the most important texts and ideas on the subjects of Jewish theology, human nature, ethics, politics and economics, and morality in the public square.  Participants will also visit with influential practitioners in the fields of politics, journalism, scholarship, and the rabbinate. These programs will be designed to help students understand the ways that ideas, policies, and affairs interact in today’s world as they learn from the examples of thoughtful individuals leading impactful lives.
