Promoting the intellectually stimulating and ethically inspiring approach to Torah observance that is part and parcel with the Torah tradition of our classical Sages:

​

• Foundation first:  "Basic decency precedes Torah."

• Prioritizing community learning of the plain meaning of the Torah and its 613 timeless principles, followed by practical application in modern life.

• Distinguishing between the 613 divine mandates and rabbinic legislation, and between national rabbinic legislation by the Great Sanhedrin as opposed to regional or local practice.

• Respecting local autonomy in matters not legislated by the Great Sanhedrin, and in local decisions regarding how national rabbinic law best applies in their particular circumstances.

• Respecting the autonomy of the individual and personal accountability to one's own conscience and intellect before God.

Guiding Jews who are returning to their roots in a warm and welcoming path of Torah observance, one that is relevant to the 21st century while remaining faithful to the timeless principles of our ancient divine tradition.  This entails:

​

• Being patient and forgiving, especially with those from backgrounds different from our own; and receiving all people with a welcoming demeanor and a warm smile.

• Meeting each person where they are, being careful not to overwhelm or intimidate.

• Prioritizing Torah fundamentals and captivating engagement rather than prematurely directing them toward minutia of halakhic disputes.

• Provide easily actionable practical steps to enrich their lives with Torah. 

"My House shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."

Non-Jews who seek the God of Abraham and ally with the People of Israel are our friends.  It is as much our divine duty to embrace them as it is a desecration of the Name to neglect them.  We are obliged and honored to welcome them in common fulfillment of the words of our prophets (ע"ה).  

Non-Jews who have forsaken idolatry and shown committed allyship can fulfill meaningful roles in local services, within the boundaries of the words of our Sages and according to community decision.  If they embrace Torah as God's immutable Covenant with Israel, they are no longer merely friendly allies,, but are become our brothers and sisters of common faith.  They should be informed that it is possible to officially become a Jew, a full member of the People of Israel, if they so desire, in accordance with the required procedure.  If they fully embrace Torah upon themselves and embrace our People as their People, then they have accepted upon themselves the kingdom of Heaven (עול מלכות שמיים).  According to the words of Haz"al (our ancient Sages), once we realize their sincerity, it is our duty to "immediately" officiate their joining the People of Israel via the 'conversion process' (גיור). 

Those who do not wish to fully come under the wings of the Divine Presence should be instructed in the 'Laws of Noah', in a fulfilling and reasonable manner as members of the community and associates of the People of Israel.  It is a grave sin to push away the righteous and the sincere of the nations.  Failure to embrace and guide them is tantamount to planting seeds of new religions.  If history is a teacher, we are bound to reap the rotten fruit of replacement theology 3.0 as a result.  Our actions today set the course for the future; so let's uphold our Divine mandate as a priestly nation, and in the words of our prophets (ע"ה), to be "a light unto the nations", for the sake of His Unity, baruk hu.

Exposing Jew-hatred for the destructive bigotry that it is, genocidal toward Jews and disastrous for all societies.  Antisemitism can only be defeated by Jews valuing their own lives enough to defend themselves, and valuing the world enough to share the richness of Torah through education.  The more the world respects Torah, the more they will respect us.  The more we disprove negative stereotypes by being positive examples of noble Torah values, the more our light will vanquish the darkness.
