The International Assembly for Netzarim Judaism (formerly the Netzarim Rabbinical Assembly) is here to function as a practical resource to support the existing and future rabbis who practice Netzarim Judaism and to uphold the principles of authentic Torah-based Judaism. As an organization we believe in an adherence to the authentic meaning of the Torah; to the rejection of any philosophies which run contrary to the Torah; and to the rejection of the idea that Talmud is equivalent to Torah or that Rabbis should be the sole interpreters of Halacha. Rather, it is the basic premise of Netzarim Judaism and the IANJ that every person should be their own halachic decisor and that each individual is ultimately responsible for their personal interpretation of Torah. To that end, we offer all of our services completely free of charge, believing that no one should profit from the Torah – a practice that almost inevitably leads to corruption.
We provide a forum for education, disseminating ideas and facilitating discussion, for our membership to examine and adapt to a changing world within the Torah-based framework that is Netzarim Judaism. We do not dictate individual or community beliefs in any way. Rather, we encourage the autonomy of every rabbi and community, while encouraging communication and inter-communion.
Our members stay connected with colleagues worldwide through private social media groups, newsletters, interactive online streaming sessions, and in-person seminars.
