Because you are part of the movement to make Torah Judaism live up to its highest ideals - and the first step in doing that is engendering honest conversations about what we do right, and what needs improvement.

What is the Orthodox Conundrum?

The Orthodox Conundrum - along with its parent company, Jewish Coffee House - is dedicated to creating a positive, G-d-centered, halachic, intellectually honest, self-aware, accountable, and welcoming Orthodox Judaism. We are convinced that authentic and deep Torah Judaism, guided by the principles of “How good and pleasant is the dwelling of brothers yet together” (Tehillim 133:1) and “Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all of its paths are peace,” (Mishlei 3:17) can and will become a warm and stimulating environment for all Jews.
