Hamilton School Congratulates Rosenthal-Levy Scholars
Announcing the Inaugural Class at the University of Florida
The Hamilton School of Classical and Civic Education is proud to welcome the inaugural class of Rosenthal-Levy Scholars—an extraordinary group of undergraduate students selected to join a bold new initiative in partnership with the Robert M. Beren Program on Jewish Classical Education.
Launched by Tikvah with a vision to restore moral seriousness and civilizational purpose to higher education, the Rosenthal-Levy Scholars Program brings together a diverse group of intellectually ambitious students committed to exploring the great ideas and traditions of Jewish, Western, and American civilization.
The Scholars:
- Eithan Ackerman – North Carolina
- Jude Berg – Washington
- Sally Brown – Florida
- Ronnier Canizares – Florida
- Sabrina Colacicchi – Nevada
- Sari D’Agostino – Georgia
- Robert Eskenazi – Connecticut
- AJ Horowitz – New Jersey
- Gabriella Mayer – New York
- Phoebe Nissanoff – Florida
- Lena Nadaner – Maryland
- Catalina Reichard – Louisiana
- Elena Ruiz – Virginia
- Guy Taylor – Maryland
These students were selected from hundreds of applicants not only for their academic excellence and leadership, but for their profound sense of civic purpose and desire to pursue a classical education in a uniquely Jewish key.
A Bold, Multi-Faceted Program
The Rosenthal-Levy Scholars will pursue a full academic major at the Hamilton School in one of the following programs:
- Great Books and Ideas
- Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law
- War, Statecraft, and Strategy
- American Government, History, Literature, and Law
They will also study:
- Jewish and Zionist thought and culture
- Modern Hebrew
- Abroad in Israel, where they will engage with Israel’s history, literature, and strategic realities
- In lectures, conferences, and travel opportunities aimed at preparing them for leadership in the civic arena
This program was made possible by the vision and generosity of the Robert M. Beren Family Foundation, Gary and Lee Rosenthal, and Paul and Karen Levy.
We extend our warmest congratulations to this inaugural class and look forward to the journey ahead.
