About the Institute

The Tikvah Fund is pleased to announce a new three-week interdisciplinary summer institute in “Political Thought, Economics and Strategy” at the Edmond J. Safra Campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Through a combination of perspectives — ancient to modern republicanism, political conservatism, and realist thought — this institute will offer an innovative and intensive educational experience. Diverse learning methods will be employed and leading faculty from Israel and abroad will teach.

The institute will run from August 5 – 23, 2012 (weekends not included).

Advanced B.A. and beginning M.A. students from Israel and abroad who are competent in both English and Hebrew are eligible to apply.

All programmatic costs, including tuition, housing, and meals will be covered.

Students will receive a $1,500 stipend.

The Tikvah Fund is a non-profit based in New York. Its mission is to promote serious Jewish thought about the enduring questions of human life and the pressing challenges that confront the Jewish people. Tikvah supports many programs, projects, and individuals— including new university centers and courses, books and journals, summer seminars and scholarships. Tikvah’s work is grounded in these fundamental convictions: that the great ideas, texts, and traditions of Judaism are a special inheritance, with much to teach everyone in search of wisdom about the human condition; and that the fate of the Jewish people greatly depends on the education of intellectual, religious, and political leaders, both in Israel and the Diaspora.
