The Tikvah Fund

Tikvah is proud to announce Ambassador Mike Huckabee as our 2026 Herzl Prize Laureate, honoring an American statesman whose Christian faith has inspired a lifelong affinity with the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

At a time when some on the populist right seek to drive a wedge between Christians and Jews, Ambassador Huckabee stands apart as a courageous voice for strengthening the bonds between our communities and affirming the biblical values and shared inheritance that unite us.

Join us this fall as we honor a leader, a patriot, and a steadfast friend of the Jewish people. Link in the comments.
