  • An Orthodox View of the Social Service Partnership
    An Orthodox View of the Social Service Partnership Rabbi Moshe Krupka, in collaboration with Miriam Turk The Talmud, which serves as the basis of rabbinic literature and Judaic life, provides a snapshot of the core requirements for a communal infrastructure. It emphasizes the pivotal role that the kehillah (community) plays in the nurtur- ing of its inhabitants. The following passage legislates both the religious needs of a community and the elements of the societal infrastructure that would ad- dress the legal, humanitarian, charitable and health-care-related needs of its citizenry: Any city that does not have the following ten items established within it, a Talmid Chacham (a learned man of Torah) is not permitted to dwell there: (1) a bais din (judicial system), (2) a communal charity fund (3) that is distributed with trans- parency and communal oversight, (4) a synagogue, (5) a bath house (for hygiene), (6) an outhouse, (7) a doctor, (8) and other healthcare professionals, (9) a scribe or some say a butcher, (10) and a teacher of children (educational system) (Talmud Bavli, Tractate Sanhedrin, 17B, emphasis added). Since our fi rst encampment in Sinai, the Jewish nation has provided for our people. Wherever we have found ourselves, the need for a well-organized com- munity has been critical to our existence—and our survival. No doubt the talmu- dic passage above has played a key role in our ability to endure a long and at times bitter Diaspora. Today, the Talmud’s philosophy of community remains both relevant and in effect. Fast forward two millennia and we behold a more modern yet similar system.

  • Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America
    Testimony of Orthodox Union In support of SB.1: Opportunity Scholarship & Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act Pennsylvania Legislature | The Senate | Committee on Education Harrisburg, PA | February 16, 2011 Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee: The Jewish people have earned their reputation as the “people of the book.” For millennia Jewish communities maintained and supported educational institutions, long before their host countries and societies thought the issue one of importance. Jews even risked their lives to educate their children, operating schools in the Nazi ghettos and under the ever watchful eyes of the Communist secret police. So it should come as no surprise the Orthodox Union, the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization, representing member synagogues and Orthodox communities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including Allentown, Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh respectfully submits this testimony in support of SB. 1, the Opportunity Scholarship & Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act. At the outset, we note that the Orthodox Union is proudly supportive of public education, and we believe every school whether it be public or private should be excellent. As well, we note, our support for this legislation is, in part, parochial. The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) has provided thousands of scholarships to moderate and middle income families who struggle to provide a quality education for their children. Particularly in the economic climate of these past few years, but even during the boom years in the early part of the century, EITC has been a lifeline for families in need. SB 1 thus expands this assistance in two key ways. First, in increases the amount of money available to EITC to a total of $100 million.

  • June 20, 2018 the Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC 20530 the Honorable Kirstje
    June 20, 2018 The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC 20530 The Honorable Kirstjen Nielsen Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Attorney General Sessions and Secretary Nielsen, On behalf of the 55 undersigned national and 291 state and local Jewish organizations and institutions, we write to express our strong opposition to the recently expanded “zero-tolerance” policy that includes separating children from their migrant parents when they cross the border. This policy undermines the values of our nation and jeopardizes the safety and well-being of thousands of people. As Jews, we understand the plight of being an immigrant fleeing violence and oppression. We believe that the United States is a nation of immigrants and how we treat the stranger reflects on the moral values and ideals of this nation. Many of these migrant families are seeking asylum in the United States to escape violence in Central America. Taking children away from their families is unconscionable. Such practices inflict unnecessary trauma on parents and children, many of whom have already suffered traumatic experiences. This added trauma negatively impacts physical and mental health, including increasing the risk of early death.1 Separating families is a cruel punishment for children and families simply seeking a better life and exacerbates existing challenges in our immigration system. It adds to the backlog of deportation cases and legal challenges in federal courts, places thousands more immigrants in detention facilities and shelters, endangers the lives of more children, and instills additional fear in people seeking safety in our country.
