<p>A $4.5 million grant to Princeton University from the Tikvah Fund will help to strengthen undergraduate interest in Jewish thought and bring Jewish history and ideas into dialogue with other historical, philosophical and theological traditions.</p>
<p>The Tikvah Project on Jewish Thought aims to make Princeton University a national and international forum for exploring Jewish thought as it relates to fundamental human questions. </p>
<p>“We are very grateful to the Tikvah Fund for their generous support,” said Professor of Religion Leora Batnitzky, the project’s director. "We believe the Jewish tradition has an important contribution to make to the humanities as a whole – in politics, history, religion, philosophy. Any educated person, Jewish and non-Jewish, ought to know something about Jewish thought and civilization. And we hope that the implementation of this kind of curriculum will have long-lasting effects for the future of Jewish studies and the humanities.</p>
