The organization is non-partisan and is a unique activist rabbinical organization in which rabbis and rabbis from all streams and rabbinical schools in Israel work together. Among its members are rabbis who hold public positions, educators and community rabbis, who can bring about both change on the ground and a change in consciousness.

The organization serves as a mouthpiece for disseminating information about human rights in Israel and the occupied territories, and works in cooperation with human rights organizations in Israel and around the world. Since its establishment, it has worked to promote the rights of the weaker sections of society, to protect the rights of minorities in Israel and of Palestinians in the territories, and to prevent blatant violations of basic human rights of migrant workers. The organization exerts pressure on policymakers in Israel to ensure the protection of the human rights of vulnerable groups, including the right to medical care, shelter, Education and a minimum standard of living.
