American civilization is at a cultural and civic crossroads.
A series of major Supreme Court decisions has expanded educational freedom and opened up the possibility of moral renewal at the state level. And yet many of our public schools, major universities, social media, and corporate culture actively promote a value system that many traditional Americans find troubling. We have seen a dramatic expansion of many Jewish day schools and Christian classical education across the nation. And yet general attendance and engagement in church and synagogue life continues to decline. America remains—along with Israel—the most religious nation in the Western world. And yet the American family faces great challenges—with high levels of family breakdown and declining birthrates.
Can religious values help renew American civilization? What is the future of faith-based communities in America? Can we reform existing institutions—like our universities—or do we need to build new ones? How can we make America a “City on a Hill”? In a special Tikvah event in partnership with the Ethics and Public Policy Center and the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., two of America’s leading religious and moral thinkers—Professor Robert P. George of Princeton University and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik of Yeshiva University—will explore these questions in conversation with Tikvah CEO Eric Cohen.
