founded on the basic tenet that being a Jew is both complementary and compatible to modern
life. It is committed to the halacha as prescribed in the Shulchan Aruch and prevailing halachic

achieve a life of meaning, purpose, happiness and responsibility within the framework of a

that has belief in G-d and the Torah as its core value and is unwavering in its commitment to
social justice for all humankind.
