The Straus Center and the Tikvah fund are co-sponsoring an upcoming summer institute, which will take place at Yale University and Yeshiva University, and is entitled God, Ethics, and American Democracy (program website: www.tikvahsummer.org). The program is open to current 11th and 12th graders. Led by Rabbi Mark Gottlieb, Tikvah’s Senior Director, the core of the Institute will be twice-daily seminars, taught by Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik (Director of Yeshiva University’s Straus Center) and Professor Gilbert Meilaender (Valparaiso University and former member of the President’s Council on Bioethics), on foundational texts and questions related to God and human nature, ethics and politics, and the most pressing moral issues of contemporary democratic life.
