The validity of Torah, science, history, news, and more, all hinges on one question: “What’s your source?” If you want to know what reformed or conservative Judaism says, go to a reformed or conservative source. However, if you want to know what traditional / Orthodox Judaism says, then go to an orthodox source.

We exclude non-orthodox sources (reform, reconstructionist, conservative) not to denounce, criticize, or offend them, but for the simple reason that traditional Orthodox Judaism is based exclusively on Orthodox Jewish sources.

This initiative summarily highlights what exactly Orthodox Judaism is (see above) and a few good examples of Orthodox Jewish sources (see below). This initiative however is not separate from the organization of which it stems, that being Holy Industries. Joined to Holy Industries not just by leadership, but also by context, and that context is Chabad Judaism.

Chabad is a community and movement that is popularly known for its efforts in outreach. It's online sources are generally the most beginner and outsider friendly of all the online Orthodox sources available. It's open door and welcoming approach has been responsible for not just clearing up many misconceptions of Orthodox Judaism, but also in extending a warm welcome and helping hands to Jews seeking to return to their roots in Judaism and to Non-Jews seeking to return to their roots as Noahides.

Holy Industries as a whole and its initiatives are in large part based on and inspired by the Chabad branch of Judaism and its teachings. Therefore, for the reasons listed above, in the list of sources below, Chabad sources are listed first, and from there the sources are ordered in order of their locality to Chabad. Meaning, most related or local to Chabad sources would be Chassidic sources, then Ashkenazic sources, and finally Sephardic sources.

The important thing for newcomers is not necessarily to know which source is from which branch of Orthodox Jewry, but to just know if it's a valid Orthodox source. As a guideline, if one is a confronted with a source not on this list and doesn’t know if it's truly a valid Orthodox source, then one should not inquire of them if they are looking for answers from Orthodox Judaism.

The list below is composed of organizations, some as small as one rabbi and some as big as thousands of rabbis. Most of their websites include options to contact rabbis directly either through a contact page or an “ask the rabbi” page. Many of these organizations also have YouTube and other social media channels as well. All of these sources can and should be used for sourcing and learning the concepts of Orthodox Jewish Torah.
