On November 10th, 2019, Norman Pidhoritz, long-time editor of commentary and one of the founding fathers of neoconservatism

will receive the Tikva Fund's 2019 Hertzl Prize at the third annual conference on Jews and Conservatism.

to Jewish affairs. In one of the earliest episodes of the Tikva podcast, we were privileged to have him

join our executive director, Eric Cohen, for a conversation on his 2007 essay, Jerusalem,

I welcome your feedback on this or any of our other podcast episodes

at podcast at tickfafund.org.
