"is well positioned to bring a comprehensive approach, grounded in the best of humanities scholarship, to educating future leaders and the broader public on the ways in which the sinister and hate-filled attacks on Jewish people that we have been witnessing on American campuses and streets are, at a deeper level, also attacks on the very foundations that have made the United States the exceptional nation that it is."
The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $10.4 million grant to Tikvah to combat the recrudescence and normalization of antisemitism through educational, scholarship, and public programs. The award is the largest in the agency’s 60-year history and Tikvah received an invitation to apply rather than winning through a competitive process. Tikvah plans to recognize right-wing commentators and will receive three years of support for its Jewish Civilization Project. The NEH has also reduced staff and canceled over 1,000 grants that reportedly do not align with current administration priorities. Republican lawmakers and the president have cited campus antisemitism in actions that include freezing federal funds at several universities.
