Together, Jennifer and David are proud to support the Millstone Scholars program and additional Tikvah initiatives advancing a foundational Jewish education for 7th and 8th grade students. They believe—as the parents of four young daughters, and informed by their own early and deeply influential Jewish educations—that this age group is primed to embark on a lifetime of intellectual engagement with the great ideas and leaders of Jewish, Zionist, and American civilization. Ultimately, they hope that the discussions that begin in Tikvah seminars invite reflection, further inquiry, and continued conversation in all aspects of participants’ lives, from classrooms to athletic fields to dinner tables. The Millstones live with their daughters, the eldest of whom has been a Tikvah scholar since the eighth grade, in Colorado.
