Our Mission

 

 

 

 

The mission of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership is to model and foster a vision of fully committed halakhic Judaism that

  • embraces the intellectual and moral challenges of modernity as spiritual opportunities,
  • recognizes that ideas and rhetoric have consequences, and takes responsibility for the societal implications of its interpretations of Torah,
  • understands that the real-world effects of Torah are mediated by the character of Torah leaders, and that self-knowledge is therefore essential for Torah leadership, and
  • takes the ultimate significance of all human beings as tzelem Elokim as a fundamental Torah principle.
