Overview

Mission

Dealing with the challenges faced by the Orthodox Jewish community and the impediments it faces in preserving its distinct way of life, both within and without the Jewish community. This will be accomplished by determining, detailing and enumerating those challenges through media outreach, advocacy, research and/or consulting, and promoting the best of Orthodox Jewish society.

What it reported doing in 2024

Haredi Institute for Public Affairs - As the Organization continues re-establishing itself under a new President, funds raised were granted to this overseas entity as it most closely furthers its missions and goals. Furthermore, this relationship is assisting with a replication of activities and research in the U.S. The Haredi Institute for Public Affairs specializes in strategic planning, development, implementation and promotion of data-based policies and research in everything related to this significant portion of the Orthodox Jewish population in Israel, and its actions can help reduce antisemitism and promote our shared humanity.
