Our Mission

Our mission is to bring together Orthodox Rabbis for serious study of Torah and Halacha, for open and respectful discussion, and to advocate policies and implement actions on behalf of world Jewry and humankind.

We are committed to:

1.) The creation of "safe space" where every participant feels comfortable voicing his opinion

2.) Bringing together Orthodox rabbis from the Golah and from Israel to put a wide range of opinions on the table in terms of Halakha, Hashkafa and public policy.

3.) The right, responsibility and autonomy of individual rabbis to decide matters of halakha for their communities.

4.) Religious Zionism, recognizing the centrality of the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael) and the State of Israel (Medinat Yisrael) to world Jewry.

5.) Affirming the shared divine image (tzelem Elokim) of all people, our responsibility to improve the world and our capacity to be enriched by it.
