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.

Episode 1

Jewish Ethics Project is launching its podcast!

In this episode, Rav Menachem Leibtag explores what the idea of Jewish “chosenness” really demands. Drawing on key texts from the Tenach, the conversation shifts the focus from privilege to responsibility, asking what ethical expectations accompany this concept — both historically and today.
