THE SOLOMON B.
FREEHOF INSTITUTE
OF PROGRESSIVE HALAKHAH
We are a research center devoted to studying, teaching, and exploring the progressive character of the halakhah in accordance with the principles of liberal Judaism.
We seek to apply the insights of progressive halakhah to the ritual, social, political, and ethical issues of our time.
We sponsor symposia and scholarly publications that facilitate a broad range of discussion, open new vistas, and enable readers to appreciate the dynamic nature of the Jewish legal tradition.
