The opening as it read in 2025
ITIM ( Hebrew : עתים) is an Israeli not-for-profit organization founded in 2002 by Open Orthodox Rabbi Seth Farber to challenge the authority of the Israeli Rabbinate in matters of Jewish identity and Jewish life. ITIM addresses government policies that govern personal status in legal matters such as registering marriages and the right to enter Israel under the Law of Return that are determined in part by an individual's legal status as Christian, Muslim or Jewish. The Hebrew word ITIM (עתים) means "seasons" or "times" and is also a Hebrew acronym for "support and advocacy." Gorenberg, Gershom (2 March 2008).
