Manof - The Center for Jewish Information

Manof - The Center for Jewish Information (Hebrew: מנוף - המרכז למידע יהודי) is an Israeli non-profit association (amuta) dedicated to explaining and advocating the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) viewpoint on issues of religion and state, judicial activism, and relations between religious and secular society. Its publications and research department issues working papers and books on the relationship between the Haredi and secular communities and on what the organization describes as judicial activism by Israel's Supreme Court, to which it is opposed. The association also engages in mediation and dialogue between Haredi and secular Jews. The organization was founded by Shai (Yeshayahu) Horowitz, a religious man who left religious observance and later returned to it. During his secular period he initiated the establishment of the Elul organization. Manof was initially conceived as a response to secular advocacy organizations such as Da'at Emet, and later broadened its activity to include advocacy on additional topics, among them current affairs from a Haredi perspective and the relationship between Torah and science. The association is directed by Dr. Daniel Nesia. Manof's publications and research department has produced a range of titles, including works on the Reform movement in the world and in Israel (1998), incitement against the Haredi public in Israel 1985–1995 (1995), the Supreme Court (2000), a report on violent activity against Haredim (2000), the influence of television (2000), and head covering for men (2001), among others. The organization maintains an official website and is listed on GuideStar Israel.
