Four idealistic religious social activists started making the rounds among rabbis and other religious leaders four years ago, to see if perhaps they were missing something. Assaf, Chili, Efrat and Shmuli had grown up together in Jerusalem, been through the religious youth movements, yeshivas, army — but they were troubled. Times in Israel were difficult.

         <description><![CDATA[Labor Day 2008 is a good time to reflect on what has been a busy       year for Jews and labor. In June, the Union for Reform Judaism's       Board of Trustees adopted a resolution on Ethical Employment Practices,       calling on Reform Jews to "seek out businesses that pay a living       wage, provide benefits for their full-time workers and engage in fair and       ethical employment practices." Similarly, Conservative Judaism's       Committee on Law and Standards passed a teshuvah (legal  ...]]></description>

Markets    and Morals
&#160;
The 1998 Hayek Lecture
&#160;
Institute of Economic Affairs 
Chief Rabbi Professor    Jonathan Sacks
&#160;
In    1978, Friedrich Hayek, whose work and influence we commemorate tonight,    proposed a great debate. He was by then almost eighty years old, but    the passion with which he sought to defend the market order against    what he saw as the heresy of collectivism was undiminished. So, as if    hoping to settle the issue once and for all, he suggested...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[(From Rav Chesed: The Life and Times of Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, page 55-56)
Political or social activism was hardly the hallmark of American Orthodox rabbis in the 1960s. While a number of Conservative and Reform rabbis participated in the civil rights movement or protested U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, their Orthodox counterparts typically regarded such causes as too far removed from Jewish concerns to justify their involvement. Haskel Lookstein, while not personally active in those...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[(From Logic of the Heart, Logic  of the Mind, pages 61-68)
From the standpoint of the  Torah, there can be no distinction between one human being and another  on the basis of race or color. Any discrimination shown to a human being  on account of the color of his or her skin constitutes loathsome barbarity.  It must be conceded that the Torah recognizes a distinction between  a Jew and a non-Jew. This distinction, however, is not based upon race,  origin, or color, but rather upon k’dushah, ...]]></description>
