The Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) is a longstanding Orthodox rabbinic body founded in 1935 to advance Torah study and the rabbinic tradition, while promoting the welfare, interests, and professional standards of its rabbis worldwide. It counts more than 1,000 ordained rabbis across fourteen countries, drawing leadership from a broad network of yeshivot and prominent rabbinic voices. Based in New York City, the RCA operates as a recognized rabbinic authority within the Orthodox community and engages with partners and stakeholders across the Jewish world. Over the years, the organization has partnered with a range of Jewish institutions, including Yeshiva University and RIETS, Beth Medrash L'Torah in Chicago, the Beth Din of America, and the Orthodox Union, among others. It also collaborates with Israeli agencies, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, and other rabbinic bodies worldwide, illustrating its role as a coordinating center within rabbinic and communal life. In January 2020, the RCA partnered with the Jerusalem-based Shavei Israel to open an English-language conversion institute in Jerusalem, reflecting ongoing educational and outreach initiatives.
