Jewish Values-Based Investing: Creating a Framework for Success

June 4, 2025 — Jewish Values-Based Investing (JVBI) is an approach that aligns financial decisions with the ethical and moral principles rooted in Jewish teachings, integrating social responsibility, justice, and stewardship of resources into investment strategies. Drawing from the Torah, Talmud, and halachic (Jewish legal) traditions, JVBI emphasizes core values such as tzedek (justice), tzedakah (charity), bal tashchit (avoiding waste), and kavod (respect for human dignity). This framework enables investors to pursue financial returns while fostering positive societal impact and avoiding harm, distinguishing itself within broader ethical investing through its uniquely Jewish lens.
