A magazine building the global Jewish consciousness

We envisage a Northeastern in which Jewish students can reclaim pride in their ethnoreligious heritage; in which our distinct writing, art, and poetry are uplifted and given platform; and in which the power of our words are realized to demand change within our society, our institutions, and ourselves.
Across the world — in a continuation of historically familiar rhetoric — Jews are being coerced into silence, their trauma trivialized, genuine fear dismissed, narratives ignored as ‘illegitimate,’ and subjected to academic and social boycott for their identities. What gave rise to this rhetoric too will be borne of it; a consequence we know through our ancestors’ trauma, woven into the fibers of our beings.
In the face of rising antisemitism worldwide, a crisis of ideological subversion eroding our most fundamental collective values, increasing hostilities across ethnic, religious, and national lines in the Middle East and in our own backyards, and the will to strip us of our agency, we reclaim our voices, and commit to bridging the gap in narrative communication, in a time it is needed more than ever before.
From the United States to the Holy Land, we bear responsibility for creating the world our children will inherit. Hatikvah is building the Hope for a better future for our people, our lands, and our collective identity.
Join us in building the New Jew, envisioned by Bialik, Nordau, and Herzl some hundred years ago.
We are not Jews with trembling knees!
