The "Midat Institution for Torah policy" was established in order to provide decision-makers in Israel with a clear Torah voice that will empower them in basing their decisions and directives on Jewish law and morality.
Another aim of the institute is to bring Torah policy to the public discourse, where it is currently sorely lacking. At the same time, the institute wishes to raise awareness of Torah policy within the ultra-Orthodox sector, both as a matter of principle and as a vehicle for brining Torah values closer to the hearts of the broader Israeli public.
