Effective Date: October 29, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to the official website of the International Assembly for Netzarim Judaism (IANJ), located at https://netzarimjudaism.org (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”).
The International Assembly for Netzarim Judaism is a religious and educational association dedicated to the study, teaching, preservation, and contemporary practice of Torah-based Judaism. Our Website provides educational materials, religious commentary, historical scholarship, organizational information, and resources intended to support Jewish learning, spiritual development, and community life.
The information presented on this Website is intended primarily for general educational, informational, and religious purposes.
Please read these Legal Notices and Terms of Use carefully. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to comply with these terms and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with these terms, you should discontinue your use of the Website.
For purposes of this document, the terms “IANJ,” “Assembly,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to the International Assembly for Netzarim Judaism and, where applicable, its authorized representatives.
1. Use of Website
The Website is maintained to promote Jewish education, religious scholarship, spiritual development, and awareness of Netzarim Judaism.
Visitors are welcome to access, read, study, and make appropriate personal use of the publicly available materials provided on this Website, subject to the limitations established in these Terms of Use.
Certain resources, documents, discussions, and services may be restricted to authorized members, rabbinical students, affiliated rabbis, or other approved participants.
Access to publicly available information does not confer membership in the IANJ, establish a formal relationship with the Assembly, or create any entitlement to organizational services.
We reserve the right to modify, restrict, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Website or its services at any time.
2. Educational and Religious Content
The IANJ publishes articles, Torah commentary, educational materials, religious essays, halakhic discussions, historical studies, and other resources intended to encourage thoughtful engagement with Judaism.
Our teachings emphasize the primacy of the Written Torah as the binding foundation of Jewish religious law, the importance of historical and contextual understanding, and the responsibility of individual Jews to study Scripture and make informed religious and ethical decisions.
Materials published on this Website represent religious interpretations, educational perspectives, and scholarly opinions. They should not be understood as universally binding religious rulings applicable to every Jewish individual or community.
The IANJ recognizes that Judaism encompasses a diversity of legitimate traditions, interpretations, and religious practices. The presentation of a particular religious perspective does not necessarily imply that other Jewish communities or institutions share or recognize that interpretation.
Articles or other materials attributed to individual authors reflect those authors’ views unless expressly identified as official statements of the Assembly.
Readers are encouraged to examine the relevant sources, engage in independent study, and consult qualified teachers or other appropriate professionals when necessary.
Nothing published on this Website should be construed as establishing a religious obligation beyond those recognized by the applicable teachings and standards of the individual or community concerned.
3. Rabbinical Education, Ordination, and Religious Services
The Website may contain information concerning rabbinical training, semikhah (rabbinical ordination), conversion to Judaism, Beit Din proceedings, religious counseling, and other religious or educational services associated with the IANJ or its affiliated rabbis.
Such information is provided for general educational and informational purposes.
Eligibility requirements, procedures, availability, and standards for any religious or educational service are governed by the applicable policies of the responsible organization, rabbi, or religious court.
Publication of information concerning any program or service does not constitute a guarantee that such program or service is currently available or that an applicant will be accepted, approved, ordained, or otherwise granted a particular religious status.
Religious Recognition
Jewish religious organizations and communities maintain differing standards concerning conversion, ordination, marriage, divorce, and other matters of personal religious status.
Consequently, recognition of an ordination, conversion, religious marriage, divorce document, or other religious determination issued or facilitated under IANJ standards is not guaranteed by other Jewish movements, religious authorities, governments, or civil institutions.
Individuals considering any religious process with potential legal or personal-status consequences are encouraged to investigate the applicable recognition requirements before proceeding.
Civil and Legal Status
Religious determinations, documents, and proceedings do not automatically establish civil legal rights or obligations.
Civil recognition of marriages, divorces, changes of personal status, or other matters depends upon the laws and procedures of the relevant jurisdiction.
Nothing on this Website should be interpreted as a guarantee of civil recognition or legal effect.
4. Intellectual Property and Copyright
Unless otherwise indicated, the original text, articles, publications, graphics, photographs, educational resources, website design elements, and other materials appearing on this Website are owned by the IANJ, their respective authors, or other copyright holders who have authorized their use.
These materials are protected by applicable copyright, intellectual property, and related laws.
The IANJ recognizes the importance of making Torah learning freely accessible and encourages the responsible sharing of Jewish knowledge.
Visitors may read, download, print, and retain publicly available educational materials for personal, noncommercial study, religious instruction, or private reference, provided that:
- The source and author are properly acknowledged.
- Copyright notices and attribution statements are preserved.
- The material is not falsely represented as the work of another person or institution.
- The material is not altered in a manner that misleadingly attributes statements or positions to the IANJ or an author.
- The use does not infringe upon the rights of any third-party copyright holder.
Brief quotations and excerpts may be reproduced for commentary, criticism, teaching, or scholarship in accordance with applicable law.
Reproduction of substantial portions of copyrighted materials, republication of entire articles, commercial distribution, or incorporation into other publications generally requires prior authorization from the appropriate copyright holder, except where permitted by law or an applicable license.
Nothing in these terms limits rights granted under fair use or other applicable copyright exceptions.
Sacred texts, historical documents, and other public-domain materials remain subject to their existing legal status. The IANJ does not claim exclusive ownership over the Torah, the Hebrew Bible, or other works that are in the public domain. Modern translations, editions, commentaries, and scholarly presentations may nevertheless be subject to independent copyright protection.
5. Organizational Identity, Names, and Logos
The name “International Assembly for Netzarim Judaism,” the abbreviation “IANJ,” and the Assembly’s official logos, emblems, and other identifying materials are used to identify the organization and its authorized activities.
The use of these names or identifying materials does not, by itself, establish an affiliation with, endorsement by, or authorization from the Assembly.
No person or organization may use the IANJ’s official identifying materials in a manner that falsely suggests organizational approval, membership, ordination, accreditation, authorization, or sponsorship.
Requests to reproduce official logos or other organizational materials should be directed to the Assembly or the appropriate rights holder.
Nothing in this section is intended to prohibit lawful descriptive references to the IANJ, legitimate commentary, criticism, historical discussion, or other uses permitted by law.
6. Accuracy and Availability of Information
The IANJ endeavors to provide reliable, thoughtfully researched, and useful educational materials.
However, religious scholarship, historical research, textual interpretation, and organizational practices may develop or change over time.
We do not guarantee that all materials appearing on the Website are complete, current, accurate, or free from errors.
Some publications may reflect earlier organizational policies, historical circumstances, or interpretations that have subsequently been revised.
The inclusion of a document or article in an archive does not necessarily indicate that it represents the Assembly’s current official position.
We reserve the right to correct, modify, replace, archive, or remove material at our discretion without prior notice.
Visitors are encouraged to verify information independently when its accuracy is important to a religious, professional, financial, legal, or personal decision.
7. Disclaimer of Professional Advice
The materials presented on this Website do not constitute legal, medical, psychological, financial, or other regulated professional advice.
Religious teachings and educational commentary should not be treated as substitutes for consultation with appropriately qualified professionals.
In particular, information relating to religious marriage or divorce, conversion, citizenship, immigration, adoption, inheritance, family relationships, or other matters affecting civil legal status should not be relied upon as legal advice.
Likewise, discussions involving religious health practices, circumcision, fasting, dietary restrictions, or other physical or psychological concerns should not replace appropriate professional medical guidance.
Use of this Website, including correspondence through its contact forms or other communication systems, does not by itself establish an attorney-client, healthcare-provider, professional counseling, or formal pastoral relationship.
8. Third-Party Websites and External Links
The Website may contain hyperlinks, citations, embedded content, or references to external websites and resources maintained by independent organizations or individuals.
Such links are provided for the convenience, education, and benefit of our visitors.
The IANJ does not control the content, policies, availability, security, or practices of third-party websites.
The inclusion of a link does not necessarily indicate endorsement of the linked organization, its religious teachings, its opinions, or its services.
Likewise, references to other Jewish movements, religious institutions, scholars, and publications should not be interpreted as implying formal affiliation or mutual recognition.
Visitors who choose to access external resources do so subject to the terms, policies, and practices of those third parties.
