Center for Jewish Values

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center for Jewish Values (known in Hebrew as Linas HaTzedek) was founded in 2001, by Rabbis Tzvi Muller and Paysach Freedman^[1] . The Center promotes Mitzvot Bein Adom L'Chavero, the Torah's guidelines for Interpersonal Relationships. The Center for Jewish Values has introduced the study of Mitzvot Bein Adom L’Chavero to thousands of people worldwide, through the use of study forums, innovative materials and varied media.

The Dean of Center for Jewish Values is the highly-regarded Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits. Rabbi Berkovits, a much sought-after teacher and lecturer, is a world-renowned expert on Mitzvot Bein Adom L’Chavero. The Center has published six volumes of Rabbi Berkovits's groudbreaking writings on Mitzvot Bein Adom L'Chavero.

The Center for Jewish Values is a not-for-profit organization funded exclusively by private donations. With offices in Jerusalem, Israel and Baltimore, Maryland, it operates programs in over twenty five cities in the United States and Israel.

Its flagship program is the Linas HaTzedek Kollel Network, a group of eighteen kollelim across Israel which learn Mitzvot Bein Adom L'Chavero. Locations include Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Betar, Ashdod and more. In the North America, the organization has organized baalei battim chaburot (study groups for laymen) to study these Mitzvot. Locations include Baltimore, New York and Los Angeles.
