The Rabbinical Council of America is a professional organization serving over 1,100 Orthodox Rabbis in the United States, Canada, and Israel. Its members are comprised of members of the congregational Rabbinate, Jewish educators, chaplains and other types of Jewish communal workers.
The RCA also serves as a spokesman for the Orthodox rabbinate on the national and international levels. They hold conferences and disseminate information on timely matters in order to promote and encourage knowledge and study of the Torah, and to defend the interests of the Jewish community.
The Rabbinical Council serves as the Rabbinic authority of the Joint Kashrut Commission of the Orthodox Union. Its affiliate, the Beth Din of America, services the membership and the Jewish community by both administering and processing Jewish divorce and other documents of personal status, and by adjudicating and arbitrating civil litigation, as well as by offering other legal guidance.
