Jewish Encyclical

A Jewish encyclical is a comprehensive, formal letter or message issued by a Jewish religious or scholarly authority to address significant issues, offer guidance, or articulate positions on social, ethical, or theological matters. Similar to papal encyclicals in Christianity, these communications aim to inform and influence Jewish communities and beyond, often reflecting contemporary challenges, promoting values such as justice and compassion, and emphasizing adherence to Jewish teachings and traditions. They serve as authoritative responses or statements to promote understanding, unity, and moral conduct within the Jewish faith and society.
