Rabbi Arik Ascherman
Founder and Director of Torat Tzedek (Torah of Justice)
Torat Tzedek (Torah of Justice) is an Israeli human rights NGO founded in September 2017 by Rabbi Arik Ascherman, who led Rabbis for Human Rights for 21 years. Its goals are to strive for a society that honors God’s image in every human being, and for the human rights that this necessitates, and to educate society that honoring God’s image in every human being, protecting human rights and taking concrete action to further these goals is a human and religious obligation in general, and in particular a Jewish religious obligation. For many who support a human rights agenda in Israel and around the world, Rabbi Ascherman serves as a role model, demonstrating that it is both possible and obligatory for a religious Jew to work for universal human rights and uphold international law, based on the Jewish tradition.
