This in-person event is being hosted exclusively for parents with children in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade in NYC-area schools. Capacity is extremely limited, so please register early.
This is the first event in Emet's new TRUTH Series on the challenges of modern culture—such as the decline of free speech, the future of higher education, the battle of ideas over Israel, and the meaning of America. More details to follow soon.
Every Jewish family has a stake in saving Western civilization. Our shared inheritance—political liberty, the free exchange of ideas, the pursuit of truth, the advancement of science, the moral wisdom of the Hebrew Bible, and civic wisdom of the Greco-Roman world—is under attack. The antidote is providing the rising generation a classical education that teaches them what truly counts.
Douglas Murray is a British journalist and public intellectual known for his international bestseller The War On The West. He is the author of seven books and is regularly featured in The New York Post, The Spectator, and The Wall Street Journal. He also has a standing column in The Free Press that explores enduring poems and great speeches that are worthy of committing to heart. Murray has been tireless, strident, and eloquent in his commentary on Israel and the unfolding assault on Western civilization. His contributions have been recognized by the State of Israel, which presented him an honorary award for being a “friend to the Jewish people” and by the Manhattan Institute, which bestowed the Alexander Hamilton Award for his “unwavering defense of Western values.”
Emet is committed to the pursuit of human excellence and the perpetuation of Jewish and American exceptionalism. Our academic program focuses on the best of Western culture, the foundational ideas of Jewish civilization, and the advanced study of math, modern science, art and music. Emet welcomes families of any Jewish background and aims to prepare students for lives of courage, character, and civic leadership.
Emet – which means “truth” in Hebrew – is kicking off the TRUTH Series, a collection of lectures with prominent leaders and intellectuals that will be open to prospective families. The series is a part of our broader mission to convene a community in NYC that is animated by the pursuit of truth.
