Strategic Scholarship

Bookshelves filled with old books in a library. The shelves are labeled with numbers, and the books have various colored and patterned covers.

We are building the architecture for Jewish Legal Studies:

  • establishing core definitions, theories, and legal frameworks.

  • developing a comprehensive scholarly agenda and publishing the foundational scholarship.

  • promoting the advancement of Jewish Legal Studies thought.

  • providing the scholarly foundation for litigation and legislation to protect American-Israeli partnerships and Jewish civil rights.
