This World: The Jewish Values Network

Mission Statement

June 6, 2008

This World: The Jewish Values Network seeks to bring Jewish values to the mainstream culture via the mass media. It is our belief that Judaism, with its unique emphasis on perfecting the world and celebrating life, can help heal America from some of its greatest challenges including its high rates of divorce, teen alienation, depression, and growing ignorance and materialism.

While Judaism has shaped and molded the two great world religions of Christianity and Islam, it has yet to achieve recognition as a purveyor of ideas in its own right, and its core values are not widely known, not in Jewish circles and certainly not beyond.

Our organization is headed by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who has arguably done more to bring Jewish values to mainstream American culture than any other personality. Our goal is to inspire more people to follow Rabbi Shmuley's lead in eloquently conveying Jewish values in print and on the airwaves to both help America heal some of its greatest ills and to inspire Jewish youth with the power of its ideas.

We are committed to advancing Rabbi Shmuley's vision of Judaism as a light to the nations, assisting him with his work, and ensuring that America benefits from the light of the Jewish people.
