Who are T’ruah’s Chaverim?
Chaverim are rabbis and cantors who stand up to be counted as partners in T’ruah’s work to protect human rights in North America, Israel, and the occupied Palestinian territories. When you become a member of our chaverim network, you join 2,300 rabbis and cantors who support one another in our human rights commitments, and who have access to training and advocacy opportunities through T’ruah. Being one of T’ruah’s chaverim does not imply endorsement of every organizational statement or position.
