Who we are
“Judaism in the Workplace” is a project of Jerusalem’s Darche
Noam Educational Institutions -- Yeshivat
Darche Noam / David Shapell College of Jewish Studies for Men
and Midreshet Rachel College of Jewish
Studies for Women. This web-site is a natural outgrowth
of the educational environment of Darche Noam, its students and
its message. The adult student body is university educated;
students often come to encounter Jewish learning after extensive
experience in the professional world. One of Darche Noam’s
central goals is educating how to apply the Torah’s teachings to
all facets of modern life.
Darche Noam has hosted
a three-day seminar on business ethics in conjunction with Jerusalem
College of Technology’s Center for Business Ethics and Social
Responsibility.
What we do
This site aims to serve as a learning resource on professional
ethics and halakha in two ways:
1. Source provider: The site is designed to approach
each issue from the vantage points of both Jewish law and
Jewish ethics. We include selections from the responsa literature,
legal codes, and basic talmudic sources as well as explanations
of aggadic passages and selections from moral and ethical
literature. An attempt is made to balance contemporary topical
articles with selections from primary sources.
2. Links and bibliography: Get in touch with material
on the web relating to professional ethics and halakha and with
source material in contemporary and classical Jewish literature
-- both in Hebrew and English.
[What we do not
do
This site is not a quick way to get halakhic decisions or to deal
with conflicts that come up in the workplace. We are designed
to provide information and help our users get in touch with
resources, whether it means referring to written sources or connecting
a questioner up with a halakhic authority in their area.
We are not equipped to decide halakhic issues and would not do
it over the internet even if we were.]
