The Solomon Journal is a premier outlet of young Jewish American journalism on serious, relevant topics. The journal brings together Tikvah’s emphasis on lofty ideas with the impact of genuinely held beliefs, refined and articulated in a concrete way. We have selected a phenomenal student Editorial Board, under the supervision of Solomon Journal Director Sarah Baird.

The centerpiece of the Journal is the Symposium, modeled after Commentary’s Symposium which showcases several angles on a contemporary problem. We also publish features and book reviews, poetry, Tanakh and Biblical commentary, and much more. Our objective is to discuss current issues and to examine arts and scholarship, new and old. The journal will be published in print twice annually and digitally on a rolling basis.

To have their writing published in the Solomon Journal, students must be enrolled in the Solomon Fellowship. For more information on the Solomon Fellowship, please click here. Applications to the 2025-2026 Solomon Fellowship are now closed.

About Tikvah

Tikvah’s purpose is to educate the rising generation of Jewish, Zionist, and American leaders and to advance the most serious thinking about the great challenges facing the Jewish people in the modern age. We seek to cultivate Jewish citizens with moral confidence and civic courage, informed by the hard-won lessons of Jewish history and devoted to strengthening Western civilization through Jewish ideas and institution-building.

To advance this mission, Tikvah operates intensive fellowship programs, summer institutes, working groups, and honors programs for students of all ages; and we produce publications, podcasts, conferences, and online courses that bring Tikvah’s ideas to the world.
