Click here to read our revised instructions for contributors and style guide before submitting a manuscript (revised October 2024).

Tradition is a journal of Orthodox Jewish thought, and welcomes contributions from women and men that offer new insights and treatments of the array of topics that fit within that field, broadly defined. Please do not submit essays which have been or are slated to be published elsewhere (in whole or in part; in print or digitally). In exceptional cases we will entertain submissions that will be published in a subsequent book or which have appeared in print in a foreign language and have been translated to English for Tradition. Please indicate these circumstances when submitting a manuscript. All manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review. No author fees are ever sought or accepted by the journal or its publisher for publication in TRADITION.

Read TRADITION’s code of ethics governing requirements for our publisher, editor, editorial board, peer review process, and authors.

Articles may be published in our quarterly print journal and/or on TraditionOnline.org. Copyright of all published material is assigned to our publisher, the Rabbinical Council of America.
