The Rabbis for Human Rights Yeshiva A program combining weekly study and volunteer fieldwork for Israeli University students promoting Jewish values in defense of human rights quotations"..The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they who do his commandments.."
“Participation with this group of students allows me to study the Jewish
perspective on Human Rights and to deepen my knowledge about Jewish culture
and literature”. “In the weekly beit midrash study, I learned about the more humanistic
sides of Judaism, an approach unknown to me previously”. “The Yeshiva of Rabbis for Human Rights is, for me, a framework that
blends the two areas which currently define my world—a commitment to the
culture of Israel and an obligation to work towards the principles of morality
and justice”. “In the Yeshiva, we study different sources from “the Jewish world”
that address the basic issues of Human Rights. In light of these texts, we ask
ourselves: What can we learn from this? How does this obligate us? Are Human
Rights something inherent in the Torah or something that today we need to bring
to our Torah?” |

“The
program allows me and my fellow students in the Yeshiva to better understand
the different approaches to important and difficult issues. Through the program,
we can develop our own stands on these issues.”
