Orthodox Union

Rosh Chodesh Elul is when we begin to undertake serious reflection on the challenges of the past year and the opportunities and goals of the future. The current discord and rifts within Klal Yisrael pose a huge challenge, undermining our fundamental identification as goy echad ba'aretz and visibly affecting our ability to work together, benefit from each other, influence each other, and stand together as a unified community to confront our many external challenges.

 

Within the OU and its departments, we intend to focus meaningful effort on considering and addressing the issue of sinat chinam, providing both food for thought and practical action points that can help us begin to demonstrate care for each other and ameliorate our nation's divisions by adjusting both our thinking and actions.

 

We invite you into this process in the hope that you may find it meaningful and helpful, add your own energies to this effort, and contribute your own thoughts and ideas using this form.

Statement on Deaths of Hostages

Our hearts are shattered over Hamas' cruel murders of the six hostages – Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alex Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Eden Yerushalmi – whose bodies were recovered from Rafah. What they and their families have endured over the past eleven months of their captivity is unimaginable.
