Who We Are
Bet Din Tzedek Latfuzot Yisrael (BADATZLI), The Rabbinical Court for the Diaspora, is a group of rabbis whose vision is to build and establish new Jewish communities around the globe. After the Holocaust and the displacement of Jewish communities in Arab lands, we aim to serve emerging Jewish communities world wide and Jewish communities that do not have the traditional religious infrastructure of Jewish communities. We are a group of Halachic Shomer Shabbat rabbis who seek to be a bridge between the worldwide established Jewish community and the many millions of the world's people who are spiritually inspired by the Torah of Israel and the people of Israel.
The World Wide Web has globalized Judaism generating interest in the history of the Jewish people, the story of the rise of Israel as a metaphor of national renaissance, and the religious significance of the ancient covenant between God and the Jewish people. We welcome groups who believe that they have a stake in the people of Israel and their covenant with God. In special cases we deal with individuals. We welcome newly sprouting Jewish communities around the world who yearn to become part of the ancient covenant between God and the Jewish people. These new communities study Torah, observe Shabbat and Chaggim, practice mikva and kashrut and show a love of the Land of Israel. They are looking for connection and in some cases reconnection to the Jewish people and the ancient covenant between God and the Jewish people. They struggle to find validation and acceptance and often feel isolated and shunned by family and friends. They eager to make their mark in Jewish history.
Bet Din Tzedek Latfuzot Yisrael (BADATZLI) (The Rabbinical Court for the Diaspora) believes in creating more Jews and Jewish communities in the diaspora that yearn to contribute to Jewish history and the Jewish people. We are honored to address the needs of descendants of Anousim (Marranos), those that claim Israelite and Lost Tribes descent and claims to Jewishness through DNA testing, and other means and others who are spiritually drawn towards Judaism from other religions.
We provide education and serve as the mara d'atra (rabbis) of these communities to answer their religious and halachic questions and encourage their spiritual growth. We provide a traditional authentic conversion that includes individual interviews with a Bet Din (Rabbinical Court) of three that determine sincerity and knowledge level, hatafat dam brit (a drawing of blood) for already circumcised males and mikva according to halachic standards for both men and women. We also provide documentation of the conversion in a traditional manner and other religious support to the newly converted and their families. Establishing a Jewish community is more than just conversion and we try to provide religious support and development and help and guide them in their spiritual journeys.
We do not charge for our services and depend on contributions. All of our services are free to the communities we serve.
While we are proud of our relationship with Kulanu, www.kulanu.org the not-for -profit group that deals with returning and emerging Jewish communities, we are fully independent of them.
