Study with the boss in Jerusalem this winter at a weeklong seminar, “ The Case for Nationalism,” offered by the Tikvah Fund.

The course, held from December 8-12, will look in detail at three “regimes”—Europe, America, and modern Israel—drawing upon a mix of classic texts, speeches, and case studies. Visit  Tikvah’s website to learn how to apply.

You can study with other  Standardcontributors this fall, with two exceptional, paid learning opportunities offered by the  Hertog Foundation in New York City.

Details for the institute and how to apply can be found at  hertogfoundation.org. Participants are eligible for a stipend to cover time and expenses. The applications deadline is August 1, 2014.
