How can you help?


Rabbincal Scholars!

We turn to all those to whom the matter of "returning out judges as in former days" (Isaiah 1:26) is dear to their hearts. We ask you to think about which candidates are most fitting to be leaders in Israel. Please nominate them to be a justice of the court and help persuade them to participate in the process of restoration.

A fitting candidate should be a Talmid Chacham (although not necessarily influential or well known), have leadership qualities, be independent from any political or other influences, and able to shoulder the responsibility of the nation. He should be capable of sensitive and innovative decisions within the precision of the Jewish legal system passed down to us from Sinai. Jewish Law mandates that the national judicial system have a court in every settlement or city of more than 120 people, so we are obviously talking about thousands of Justices.

Volunteers

By the same token we are seeking volunteers who will assist in various subjects related to the leadership and administration of the Jewish nation.

In particular professionals in the fields of computers, the Internet, statistics and demography, political science, jurists, physicians, international relations, public administration, philosophy, research, both applied and theoretical.

The most important thing, in any event, is that you support and assist in any way possible.

If you are interested in volunteering for various tasks required by the developing Sanhedrin, you can fill out the online questionnaire and submit it to the re-established Jewish Sanhedrin. Some of the more urgent tasks needed now include translating, distributing material, explaining the role and operation of the Sanhedrin, encouraging wider acceptance, etc. As the Sanhedrin develops, other tasks may include giving testimony, submitting bills to the legislature, publications, diplomacy, etc.

Economic Basis

One of the most immediate issues is the problem of the financing the operations of the Sanhedrin.

The Sanhedrin currently convenes once a month, because of the many matters pertaining to the Jewish people which are in flux. These frequent meetings have no independant funding, and this means that the rabbis must function on a volunteer basis. This is a Sanhedrin which must deal with these things. The justices of the Sanhedrin themselves must defray the costs of maintaining its operation from their own pocket.
