The Orthodox Forum, initially convened by Dr. Norman Lamm,
Chancellor of Yeshiva University, meets each year to consider major
issues of concern to the Jewish community. Forum participants from
throughout the world, including academicians in both Jewish and
secular fields, rabbis, rashei yeshivah, Jewish educators, and Jewish
communal professionals, gather in conference as a think tank to
discuss and critique each other’s original papers, examining different
aspects of a central theme. The purpose of the Forum is to create
and disseminate a new and vibrant Torah literature addressing the
critical issues facing Jewry today. [from Preface]
