The Tikvah Advanced Institutes, and student programs draw their faculty from the finest institutions of higher learning and the from throughout the ranks of distinguished writers, religious leaders, policymakers, and intellectuals in the United States and Israel. Our faculty list below includes both occasional speakers who deliver lectures and run workshops, as well as Tikvah’s core faculty members who reside at the Tikvah Center for weeks at a time.
Tikvah’s faculty are notable for their scholarship and their contributions to public life. They are chosen for their commitment to education as a noble calling and for their ingenuity in engaging with the best minds of all ages and backgrounds. Participants are encouraged to meet with our faculty in informal weekly lunches and dinners as well as in the classroom.
