Jewish Thought and Enduring Human Questions
Summer Seminar 2013, July 28 - August 14
Applications no longer being accepted.
Each summer, The Tikvah Project on Jewish Thought sponsors a Summer Program at Princeton University for exceptional students from diverse universities around the world. Students convene in Princeton to study Jewish texts, Jewish thought, and Jewish perspectives on the great questions of human life.
Seminar leader Leora Batnitzky (Director of the Tikvah Project at Princeton) is joined by a world class roster of faculty who lecture and lead discussions on topics such as: Tradition and Authority; Parents and Children; Hope and Progress; Love and Piety; Shame and Honor; and the Future of Jews and Judaism.
Students also have opportunities to engage in both formal and informal conversations with faculty and to hear debates and lectures about contemporary issues relevant to the Jewish future.
There are photos from and information about the summer 2012 seminar, which took place July 22 – August 8.
