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.
The JEP Jakobovits Prize
The JEP Jakobovits Prize is an annual essay competition that invites students in schools, universities, yeshivot and seminaries to engage seriously with the ethical challenges of the modern world through the lens of Jewish thought. Named in honour of former CR Immanuel Jakobovits, a pioneer of Jewish medical ethics, the prize encourages original, well-argued essays grounded in Jewish sources and values. By bringing Torah ethics into dialogue with contemporary issues, the prize aims to inspire a new generation of thoughtful voices in Jewish ethical debate.

Episode 2
Jewish Ethics Project is launching its podcast!
In this episode, Dan Neidle and Daniel Greenberg CB dive into the ethics of taxation, unpacking why tax isn’t just a technical issue but an ethical one. From the foundations of civilisation to the grey lines between avoidance and evasion, they explore fairness, rule of law, and our shared responsibility for public services. A thoughtful, engaging conversation that asks not just what the law allows, but what ethical behaviour really demands.
