"For us, the Torah is absolutely central to Judaism and Jewish life. Further, this sacred text that God has bestowed upon us has shaped the ethical foundation of our broader civilization. We can think of no better use of resources than to serve God by spreading the study of Torah among our people. And we can think of no better partner in this endeavor than Tikvah."
