  • THE TIKVAH FUND 165 E. 56Th Street New York, New York 10022 American Jewish Literature March 15–17, 2015 Dean: Mark Gottlieb I
    THE TIKVAH FUND 165 E. 56th Street New York, New York 10022 American Jewish Literature March 15–17, 2015 Dean: Mark Gottlieb Instructor: Ruth Wisse I. What is the Tikvah Fund? The Tikvah Fund is a philanthropic foundation and ideas institution committed to supporting the intellectual, religious, and political leaders of the Jewish people and the Jewish State. Tikvah runs and invests in a wide range of initiatives in Israel, the United States, and around the world, including educational programs, publications, and fellowships. Tikvah is politically Zionist, economically free-market oriented, culturally traditional, and theologically open-minded. Yet in all issues and subjects, we welcome vigorous debate and big arguments. Our institutes, programs, and publications all reflect this spirit of bringing forward the serious alternatives for what the Jewish future should look like, and bringing Jewish thinking and leaders into conversation with Western political, moral, and economic thought. II. Description of American Judaism Workshop, “American Jewish Literature” The Jew in America has enjoyed unprecedented success as an equal member of a free and democratic nation. Jews have risen in the arts, in politics, in business, and in much else. But they have also risen out of traditional life, first confronting modernity as aliens and then being swallowed in whole or in part by the rewards of assimilated American life. It is this predicament—that of the anxious immigrant and the hesitant or guilty modern—that has colored the great works of American Jewish literature by authors such as Saul Bellow. Ruth Wisse, the dean of the study of Jewish literature, will explore what the Jewish novel can teach us about the modern Jewish-American condition.

  • The Full Text of the National Yeshiva High School Substance Abuse Policy
    National Yeshiva High School Substance Abuse Policy July 2018 A yeshiva high school is a community dedicated to fostering students’ educational, spiritual, and personal development. We partner with students and parents to nurture this growth in every student. As part of this commitment, we also promote the safety and health of our greater yeshiva community: the families and neighborhoods we serve. To further this noble goal, we have collaborated as yeshiva high school leaders and consulted with mental health professionals to develop guidelines for addressing substance use among our students. Substance use includes, but is not limited to, the use of marijuana or other illegal drugs and substances, non-prescription medications, alcohol, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, vapes, juuls, and other similar devices and substances. Education and Prevention We strive to educate our students and their parents about the dangers and realities of substance use. This education includes annual programming for our students and their parents. Recognizing the valuable partnership between school and parents, we recommend that each school run an annual parent event attended by at least one parent from each of the school’s families. In addition to programming, schools may mandate drug testing. The goal of this testing is to encourage students to make healthy choices for substance-free living. Drug Usage or Possession 1. Students who engage in substance use are strongly encouraged to consult with the school’s guidance faculty or administration to discuss the problem. Students can be confident that such problems will be addressed professionally, confidentially, and with compassion. In order to best help the students who are facing substance use issues, parents will be involved as early as possible in the discussion.
