Ohr Torah Stone (OTS) (Hebrew: אור תורה סטון) is an international Modern Orthodox organization that aims to develop Jewish life, learning, and leadership. The organization is led by Rabbi Kenneth Brander. OTS was founded by Rabbi Shlomo Riskin in 1983. As of 2020, OTS included 27 educational institutions under its auspices.[1][2][3]
The organization also includes a network of over 300 emissaries who serve in positions of spiritual and educational leadership across North America, South America, Central America, Australia, and New Zealand.[4][5][6][7]
The organization has implemented initiatives in Jewish women’s leadership and empowerment, leadership training, Jewish outreach, and social action. These programs have garnered national and international recognition for their innovative approach.[8] OTS has stated that its primary guiding principle is to ensure the accessibility of Judaism to every Jew—particularly addressing populations that have historically been marginalized, disenfranchised, or alienated.[9][10][11]
