Edah

Edah was a Modern Orthodox Jewish organization, generally associated with the liberal wing of Orthodox Judaism in the United States and with the Religious Zionism movement of Israel. Its headquarters are located in Manhattan, New York City.

Edah states that it is "committed to ... modern Orthodoxy, which maintains a serious devotion to Torah and Halakhah while enjoying a mutually enriching relationship with the modern world ..."

In July 2006, Edah announced plans to close down its operations as a stand-alone entity. Its founder and director, Rabbi Saul Berman, will be transitioning to an administrative position at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, a Modern Orthodox yeshiva in New York City. The reason was that given limited financial resources available to the Orthodox community, a tactical decision was made so that its goals would be able to continue through other means. As such, Orthodox rabbis associated with Edah still will contribute to their goals through their membership in the Rabbinical Council of America, they still will attend conferences, such as the conferences on women, feminism and Orthodox, e.g. JOFA, and they would still publish articles in a continuing form of The Edah Journal. As such, YCT has assumed EDAH's journal, website, and audio-visual library.
