Uri L′Tezedek

Mah Ani? Self Reflection and Social Action for the High Holidays

“For I have embraced him [Abraham] so that he will charge his sons and his daughters after him to keep the way of the LORD to do righteousness and justice.” (Genesis 18:19)

 

With Rosh Hashana around the corner, it is time for us as a community to reflect and ask ourselves if we are living up to Abraham’s charge:  have we created a community dedicated to “the way of the LORD to do righteousness and justice?”

 

In order to deepen our understanding of what righteousness and justice is, Uri L’Tzedek is excited to announce the publication of Mah Ani? Self Reflection and Social Action for the High Holidays focusing on the ethical cultivation of the Jewish self.

With your partnership, Uri L’Tzedek has continued to create an Orthodox community committed to activism and social justice:

 

  • Over 90 kosher eating establishments in 10 states and Canada have been awarded the Tav HaYosher, securing the worker rights of over 5oo workers.
  • Over 1oo emerging adults have been trained as the next generation of Orthodox leaders.  One Uri L'Tzedek fellow commented: I feel ready and able to enter the world at large--be it the non-profit world of social justice or Judaism or both or simply the world in which we all live--as a competent and inspired Torah-justice activist!”
  • Uri L’Tzedek is leading campaigns in support of workers that have been exploited by Flaum’s Appetizing, for Prison Reform, and against domestic violence

Improve yourself; improve your community,

Support Uri L’Tzedek.
