Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
We train and mobilize our network of 1800 rabbis to be moral leaders on the most important issues of the day. Through this network, we have organized tens of thousands of Jews to oppose U.S.-sponsored torture, to support safe labor practices for tomato pickers, to fight human trafficking in North America, and to protect Palestinians and Bedouins from expulsion from their homes in Israel.
