Editing Vaad (section)

==Modern day==
Modern-day vaads in ''[[Orthodox Judaism]]'' include the Vaad Halakha and the Beth Din of America, both sponsored by the [[Rabbinical Council of America]]. Another example is the Vaad Harabonim, part of the Rabbinical Council of New England. It supervises the [[kashrut]] of foods for many food manufacturers in [[New England]], USA.<!--  (''More is needed here.'') -->

Modern-day vaads in ''[[Conservative Judaism]]'' include the [[Rabbinical Assembly]]'s [[Committee on Jewish Law and Standards]], and the Israeli ''Vaad Halakha''.

The term is also used at Jewish summer camps, such as [[Camp Ramah Darom]] and [[Camp Ramah in the Berkshires]], to refer to a group of counselors who work together to plan a program for their campers.  Examples include a Vaad [[Jewish prayer|Tefillah]] (which plans programs during morning prayer services), a Vaad Peulat Erev (which plans evening activities), and a Vaad [[Shabbat]] (which plans programs for the sabbath). Because of its frequent use at camps, many Jewish young adults have adopted this term for use in other contexts. For example, when planning a party, one may be a member of Vaad [[Tequila]].
