Jewish wisdom consists in knowing what to do with what it knows.
This site is about what Judaism knows.
Our think tank generates ideas and research on contemporary issues of central importance to Jewish life.
We believe in Judaism and its capacity to significantly contribute to the well-being and improvement of humanity.
We look to support the next generations of Jews’ understanding their inherent self-worth and their capacity to significantly contribute to the well-being and improvement of humanity.
The significance of Judaism today "does not lie in its being conducive to the survival of this particular people but in its being a source of spiritual wealth, a source of meaning relevant to all people."
