Jewish Ethics Project
An Orthodox voice rooted in Torah Ethics, dedicated to addressing today’s moral challenges.
Our Principles
The Jewish Ethics Project (JEP) is a challenging, Orthodox, voice for our times — rooted in Torah, committed to kindness, justice and righteousness (Jeremiah 9:23) — (חםד, משפט וצדקה (ירמיה ט:כג. We believe that every human being is created in the image of God and Jewish life must reflect that through compassion, righteousness, and integrity. A history of trauma must not cloud our moral vision or dull our responsibility to others.
We call on our community to lead with courage: to be self-critical, to uphold the dignity of the vulnerable, and to bring Torah wisdom to today’s urgent ethical challenges.
