Igud HaRabbonim
Igud HaRabonim (Rabbinical Alliance of America) is a right-wing[1][2][3][4] national rabbinical organization, with over 800 members across North America.[5] Founded in 1942, it has for years received publicity from Rabbi Sholom Klass[6] and The Jewish Press.[7]
The organization has an active beth din (rabbinical court) in the greater New York City metropolitan area. Just as in any other binding binding arbitration, its decisions are binding in civil courts if the litigants agree to appoint the beth din to arbitrate their dispute.
