Goals

The Rabbinic Research and Resource Center at Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, Yeshiva University, will provide rabbis with support in all areas of their profession. This includes accessing Jewish scholarship on contemporary matters (areas of halacha, Jewish thought and history, medical and legal ethics), resolving challenging pastoral situations and halachic issues, help in crafting speeches, assistance in contract negotiations and other matters.

How It Works

In response to an initial request, the director of the center will refer the query to appropriate resident-experts at Yeshiva University for their assistance and, when appropriate, research it, gather the pertinent information, and send it to the rabbi.

The Rabbinic Research and Resource Center will also copy or scan materials from Yeshiva University's vast library of Judaic scholarship and fax them to rabbis across the world, giving them full access to Jewish sources in the original in preparation for their classes and their continued development as talmidei chachamim or Jewish scholars.
