The historical subjects covered by the HHF and its lecturers are of common interest to all persons, regardless of their religious orientation. They focus on the vast but unacknowledged contributions Jews have made to the technological and artistic evolution of civilization. HHF lecturers do not delve into Judaic religion, philosophy or ethics, important parameters of the Judaic contribution to human culture that are well covered by others.
All lectures are slide-supported.
Their duration is normally one hour and fifteen minutes. Additional time of up to forty-five minutes is allotted for subsequent questions and answers. They provide in-depth examinations of the contribution Jews made to the technological and artistic evolution of civilization. Availability is dependant on area and schedule. Samuel Kurinsky, Executive Director of the HHF, heads the panel of lecturers in the East.
