The Tikvah Fund was founded in the conviction that ideas matter, and that great leadership depends on their articulation and development. We believe that Jewish, conservative, and Israeli intellectual leadership – whether social, cultural, economic, or religious – can help create a flourishing future for the Jewish people, for Israel, and for the West as a whole. Supporting programs, publications, and partner institutions, Tikvah Israel is privileged to help advance this mission with a broad community of thinkers and practitioners in the State of Israel.
