The Great Speeches seminars expose students to core speeches and texts in the Biblical, Zionist, and conservative traditions. They are an opportunity for Forum members to examine the words and deeds of the great statesmen and thinkers who make these traditions so vibrant. Forum members study these figures with experienced educators in academia and public policy.

Membership in the Tikvah-Beren Collegiate Forum includes access to all the seminars listed below. Members can sign up for as many as they like, space permitting (maximum seminar size is 15 students).

Our lineup of events for the Winter and Spring of 2022 is in development now, as we hire some of the most talented teachers in our network. We are planning to organize our exploration of seminal essays under these important topics:

 

  • Purpose and Prudence in American Foreign Policy
  • The Moral Challenges of Science and Technology
  • Gender, Sexuality, and Jewish Ideas of the Human Person
  • Zionism in the 21st Century
