Tikvah Scholars Program

The Tikvah Scholars Program provided us with outstanding mentors that further developed my curiosity and zest for learning.

Tikvah has taught me to be strong with my core beliefs and morals, while simultaneously approaching life with an open mind.

I learned so much from the professors and moderators about the complicated matters of Judaism and how they apply to us today.

Tikvah was a transformative experience. . . . I made absolutely incredible lifelong friends, and great connections with the outstanding professors.

The two weeks I spent in the Tikvah Scholars Program were some of the best of my life. Never before had I experienced an environment so focused on meaningful conversation about important topics.

The richness and depth of the conversations, the high quality of peers, and the nurturing social environment all helped foster a love of Judaism that had previously slept dormant in my heart.

My peers were insightful and committed, with a passion for learning.

The Tikvah Scholars Program invited me into the great Jewish and Western conversations.

The Tikvah Scholars Program offered me a space in which I could approach the world with curiosity.

The experience pushed me forward intellectually. Not only did I get substantive answers to the questions I was asking, the questions themselves were framed in completely new ways.

I learned an incredible amount from amazing professors, and it enabled me to think critically about issues facing both the modern world and Judaism.
