The New York Board of Rabbis, established in 1881, is a professional membership organization whose vision is:

To be the primary forum for rabbis within New York’s diverse rabbinical community -- including those who serve congregations, organizations, chaplaincies, communal service agencies, and schools -- for enhancing and expanding the Rabbinate’s role in the betterment of the Jewish people and the world at large while providing a spiritual environment for rabbis to promote Klal Yisrael, learn together, grow professionally, and build bridges both within the Jewish community and to other faiths.
