The Baltimore Board of Rabbis’ Mission Statement declares, in part, that it "is a powerful moral and religious voice providing spiritual leadership for the Baltimore Jewish community." As a trans-denominational association of 55 rabbis, the Baltimore Board of Rabbis fulfills that mission by occasionally issuing timely, provocative, thoughtful messages affecting citizens and communities in Maryland. These messages are couched in the context of principles within Jewish tradition and Jewish sources. Topics may also pertain to matters of national and/or international concern as well.

Our objectives as a rabbinical professional association are to:
  • Educate the public about Jewish holidays.
  • Inform the public about current rabbinical thinking on issues.
  • Inspire Jews to live their lives more nobly, ethically, and spiritually.
  • Demonstrate the Jewish tradition’s relevance to contemporary issues.
  • Clarify contentious issues within a Jewish context.
