We aim to select Tikvah Scholars who aspire to lives of meaning, integrity, and Jewish leadership. We believe that serious Jewish and intellectual inquiry is the best preparation for such a life, and we aim to inspire our students with the best of our traditions—Jewish, Zionist, American, and Western.
Led by master teachers, Tikvah students learn to take positions, formulate arguments, and articulate their commitments respectfully. In this way, students join the perennial conversations studied in our classes. Our seminar rooms foster deep intellectual friendships among serious young Jews from around the world.
