Terms of use
Last updated November 9, 2026. These terms cover jewishresearchadvisory.com (“JRA”). By using the site you agree to them. How we handle information is on the privacy page.
Information is provided as is
JRA is a directory of Jewish community services, places, jobs and events, gathered from public sources. We work to keep it correct, but listings can be out of date or wrong: places close, move, change phone numbers, hours or prices. Everything on JRA is provided “as is”, without any promise that it is complete, current or right for you. Always confirm the details with the place or organization itself before you rely on them, travel, pay or make a decision.
Kashrus and halacha
JRA does not give kosher certification and nothing on JRA is a halachic ruling. Where a hechsher is shown, it is what the certifying agency’s list or the place’s own website said on the date shown. Certification can change at any time. Check with the agency or the business, and ask your rav.
Not professional advice
Information on JRA, including consultations and research briefs, is general information. It is not medical, legal, financial, tax or halachic advice. For those, speak to a qualified professional or your rav.
Where the listings come from
Listings come from public sources: government registers, open map data (OpenStreetMap), organizations’ and businesses’ own websites, kashrus agencies’ public lists, employers’ own job boards and community recommendations. Each listing names its source, and the full credits and licences are on the About page. A listing is not an endorsement. Sponsored ads and Featured listings are paid and are labelled; payment does not change how a listing is checked.
Removal and corrections
Is a listing about you or your business? Every listing has a “This is you? Remove or edit this listing” link. Use it, or the contact form, or email jwriting87@gmail.com, and tell us what to change or remove. We remove listings on request. To report copyright concerns, see copyright reports.
What you post
Posts on the forum and community boards, reviews and suggestions are the words of the people who send them, not JRA’s. Post only what is yours to share, nothing private about other people, and nothing unlawful, hurtful or misleading. We may review, edit or remove posts. The community board terms also apply on the boards.
Jobs, events and outside links
Jobs and events link to the employer’s or organizer’s own page; apply, register and ask questions there. JRA is not the employer or the organizer. Links to other websites are for convenience; those sites have their own terms and privacy policies.
Payments
Paid services (such as a Featured listing or a consultation) are paid on Stripe’s secure page. What you get, how to cancel and refunds are on the privacy & payments page.
Using the site fairly
Please do not copy the directory in bulk, scrape it, overload it, or use it to send unwanted messages to the people and places listed. OpenStreetMap-derived data is offered for download under its own licence, as the About page explains.
Limits of responsibility
As far as the law allows, JRA and its owner are not responsible for losses that come from using or relying on information on the site, from listed businesses, employers or organizers, or from other websites linked here. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have by law.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions: jwriting87@gmail.com or the contact form.
