WHAT DOES THE UTJ HOPE TO ACHIEVE?
The UTJ believes that the increasingly divisive polarization in North American Jewish life is the result of institutional and sociological factors and does not accurately represent either the imperatives of the halakhic tradition or the inclinations of North American Jewry. Through our growing roster of programs and publications, we aim to give voice to the halakhic center and to provide encouragement and support to those who seek to live lives committed to Torah, K’lal Yisrael, and intellectual integrity.
