The Orthodox Union announced today that the NCSY Special Commission, appointed by the Board of Directors, delivered its final report to Orthodox Union President Mandell I. Ganchrow, M.D. 

Orthodox Union leaders will review, examine and study the report. The Executive Board will subsequently undertake appropriate action.  

There will be no public comments by the Orthodox Union on this matter until after the Executive Board has met. 

The Orthodox Union wishes to extend its gratitude to the members of the NCSY Special Commission for their time and efforts on our behalf. We are also appreciative of the community's patience while awaiting the report.
