Rabbinical Council
Vision
The JFREJ Rabbinical Council provides an opportunity for rabbis to raise their collective prophetic voice and to take joint action on social and economic justice issues in New York City. The Rabbinical Council brings together rabbis from across the Jewish religious spectrum to build supportive relationships with one another and to develop the relationships and resources needed to be effective advocates for social justice in congregations and communities. The Rabbinical Council is a critical aspect to JFREJ's work through supporting our media advocacy, developing and distributing educational materials and collaborating on our campaigns for racial and economic justice in New York City.
