MISSION
All Jews deserve to be fully welcome in Jewish life. We empower Jews needing ritual accommodations to safely connect to sacred Jewish practice and community. We provide resources, support, and advocacy for these Jews, as well as the Jewish community and its leaders. Together, we are creating a Jewish culture of dignity, meaning, and belonging.
WHO WE ARE
We are an international, pluralistic group of Jewish educators, clergy and community members who feel passionately that rituals and mitzvot should not cause danger or suffering. Guided by our commitment to Jewish law (halacha), Jewish belonging and Jewish continuity, we believe that Jews who need accommodations for mitzvot should not have to do so by themselves, but rather they should be given respectful communal space and be treated as equal members of the Jewish community. ​
VALUES
Pikuach Nefesh | פיקוח × ×¤×©
We uplift the Jewish imperative of pikuach nefesh, that life takes precedence. We support safe observance of rituals and mitzvot.
Community (Kehilah) | קהילה
We believe that Jewish belonging is more than what we are (or aren't) able to do.
Dignity (K'vod Habriyot) | כבוד הבריות
We honor the inherent value, worth, and dignity of every human being. Each of us deserves to have resources created with our needs in mind.
