T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, often referred to as T'ruah, is a left-wing[5] nonprofit organization of rabbis who act on the Jewish imperative to respect and protect the human rights of all people in North America, Israel, and the Palestinian Territories. Approximately 2,000 American and Canadian rabbis and cantors, very predominantly non-orthodox in denomination[citation needed], are affiliated with T'ruah.[6] T'ruah was founded as Rabbis for Human Rights-North America (RHR-NA) in 2002. On January 15, 2013, RHR-NA ended its formal affiliation with Rabbis for Human Rights in Israel, and was renamed T'ruah.[7] The name T’ruah is based on one of the sounds of the shofar (ram’s horn) acting as a call to take action.[8]
