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 Jewish Ethics Project Podcast

In this episode of the Jewish Ethics Project podcast, Elkan Adler speaks with Rav Yuval Cherlow, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Orot Shaul and founding member of Tzohar, about the ethical foundations of halacha in times of conflict and public discourse. The conversation explores the tension between prohibitions on lashon hara and the responsibility to speak out against wrongdoing, as well as broader questions of truth, misinformation, sexual abuse reporting, and the moral obligations of a Jewish state in war.
