  Some Key Questions Facing the Jewish Polity in the New Decade
The edah has to determine and employ certain criteria of citizenship for purposes of affiliation and leadership recruitment in the diaspora and to determine status in Israel.
The question ties in with the issue of citizenship but is particularly complex because the edah is not a spatially-bounded polity in which it is easy to determine who is in and who is out.
At present we are still struggling with the reconstitution of the edah, just as the previous generation struggled with the consolidation of the state and the reconstitution of the individual countrywide communities and the generation before struggled to achieve the establishment of the state and the emergence of new Jewish centers in the diaspora.

  The Emergence, Role, and Closing of Edah
Edah's founding in 1997, its ideology, and its activities in the ensuing nine years belong to and continue a history of rabbinic ideological debates that began more than two hundred years ago when modernity challenged rabbinic leadership and the Jewish community's spiritual leaders in Europe believed the Torah way of life was under dire threat.
Edah has had a threefold mission: First, clarify and disseminate these ideological positions as a way to celebrate diversity in Orthodoxy and to show how that diversity strengthens rather than weakens the Orthodox community.
Edah was not formed as a critique of haredi Orthodoxy but as a critique of the Modern Orthodox neglect of its own distinctive ideological positions.

 [No title]
The portability of the desert-born edah is as notable a characteristic as is its attachment to Zion.
Representative government in the edah subsequent to the biblical period represents, in many respects, a continuing effort to maintain ancient forms of participation in new guises, forms that have disappeared in other modern polities and are only now beginning to change for the edah.
Leading figures representing the elements of the edah come together at regular intervals and are involved in consultations in between; but the day-to-day business is still conducted by virtual representatives, including people co-opted into the governing circles who might not be formally chosen through the standard process because of their proximity or wealth.

 Edah
The mission of Edah is to give voice to the ideology and values of modern Orthodoxy and to educate and empower the community to address its concerns.
Fully committed to Torah, halakhah, and the quest for kedushah, Edah values open intellectual inquiry and expression in both secular and religious arenas; engagement with the social, political and the technological realities of the modern world; the religious significance of the State of Israel; and the unity of Klal Yisrael.

Nine years after Edah took up the challenge of reversing what it called a “separatist trend” within Modern Orthodoxy, the think-tank announced this week that it is winding down its operations, hoping to pass on its work and most successful programs to others.
Edah is perhaps best known for its widely read journal and annual conferences that drew as many as 1,500 participants.
Edah also offers adult education programs at the JCC of Manhattan and funded a Jewish Teacher Corps geared toward young people.

 Covenant and Conversation - Three Types of Community
Edah comes from the word ed, meaning "witness." The verb ya'ad carries the meaning of "to appoint, fix, assign, destine, set apart, designate or determine." The modern Hebrew noun te'udah means "certificate, document, attestation, aim, object, purpose or mission." The people who constitute an edah have a strong sense of collective identity.
An edah is a community of the like-minded.
To preserve the diversity of a tsibbur with the unity of purpose of an edah - that is the challenge of kehillah-formation, community-building, itself the greatest task of a great leader.

 Laurus N.V.: Investor Relations
Edah is not just about low prices: it has the edge on other discounters by offering the widest possible product range, including a comprehensive selection of fresh produce, and special offers.
Since Edah decided to return to its roots as a popular discount supermarket, 54 of its 286 stores have been converted to the Edah Lekker & Laag format, that will form the basis for all Edah stores in the future.
Because converting all the stores to Edah Lekker & Laag supermarkets will take time, Edah is taking a step in the right direction now by introducing these price cuts at all the supermarkets which have not yet been updated to the new format.

In this context, Riskin made reference to YU Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Moshe Tendler's controversial censure of Edah, which Tendler declared to be "beyond the pale of Judaism." Rabbi Tendler also attempted to forbid people from attending Edah's conference.
It was clear that Edah fought vigorously to dispel this notion.

On the one hand, the Edah is continuing to demonstrate its anti-Zionist line and advocate a separatist approach toward the state.
In the case of the gay parade, the Edah Haredit is attempting to "uphold the sanctity" in parts of Jerusalem that are beyond its neighborhood.
The answer could not be found in the speeches by the Edah's rabbis Sunday, but it seems to be bugging its leader, Rabbi Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss, who is trying to postpone the protests for as long as possible.
