T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights is a small nonprofit based in New York City within the civic and social sector. It seeks to translate Torah-based concepts of human dignity, equality, and justice into practical leadership within Jewish communities, empowering rabbis and cantors to act as moral voices and to guide efforts that advance democracy and human rights for all people in the United States, Israel, and the occupied Palestinian territories. Through its work, the organization engages religious leaders and communities in public advocacy around human rights issues, rooted in a faith-based framework. In this way, T’ruah positions itself at the intersection of faith, civil society, and public policy. Based in New York City, the organization operates with a small staff. Notably, in 2020 it partnered with Faith Matters Network and Election Defenders to support community preparation for possible delays in declaring election results due to high use of mail ballots.
