The Tikvah-Beren Collegiate Forum is a community of select college students and interconnected campus chapters: bastions of moral courage and intellectual seriousness on campuses nationwide. We are academically curious, professionally ambitious committed Jews. Our members have access to engaging seminars and events throughout the year. Some are held in digital classrooms; some are in person. Our chapters bring these opportunities onto campus. All are of the highest quality.
These are our core commitments:
First: The Jews are an exceptional people; Jewish civilization is a treasure for the world; the Jewish state is a heroic achievement.
Second: American self-government—with its cherished principles of religious liberty, a free economy, and strong communities—is a precious inheritance.
Third: The rising generation of American Jews has a responsibility to enter the public arena—inspired by the great thinkers and statesmen of past ages—in order to defend our loftiest ideals and our enlightened interests.
Fourth: Mentors matter; young Jews need models of excellence in politics, education, journalism, religious leadership, law, and business.
