Judaism Throughout Jewish history, differences have existed between Jews in terms of their degree of religiosity and traditionalism. In recent centuries, however, these differences have increased. In contemporary Judaism, three broad categories or movements are normally identified (Orthodox, Reform, and Conservative). The most traditional Jews are referred to as Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Judaism holds that the Torah (oral and written) was given by God to Moses. Consequently, they hold that the laws of the Torah must be strictly observed. As a result, Orthodox Jews follow all the dietary laws, observe all the holidays, and enforce the segregation of the sexes in prayer. The term Orthodox Judaism is, in fact, an umbrella term which only really came into being with the development of less traditional movements. A great variety of groups are categorized as being Orthodox Judaism. Among these is the Hasidic movement (Hasidism) which emerged in the eighteenth century Poland and which is heavily based on Jewish mysticism. Hasidic men typically wear black robes, have beards, and ostracize themselves from modern secular life. In contrast, Jews of the Modern Orthodox persuasion embrace modern life while, at the same time, strictly observe Jewish law. The least traditional movement is Reform Judaism. Reform Judaism began in Germany in the early nineteenth century. In contrast to Orthodox Jews, Reform Jews do not believe that the Torah was given to the Jewish people by God. Rather, they hold that it was written by divinely inspired men. While the Torah is considered sacred, its laws are not strictly observed by those in the Reform movement. Reform Jews typically do not observe the dietary laws, which they see as being outdated. In addition, Reform Judaism does not require its participants to refrain from working on Jewish holiday. In Reform synagogues (often referred to as temples) Jewish men and women sit together and Jewish men are not required to wear either

Testimonies of Converts to Judaism Belgium Marian Fack This true story explains how the author and her husband went from heading a national branch of a Christian evangelic ministry to converting to Orthodox Judaism. France Bodo-Eleazar This ancient transcript (ninth century), from a French Bishop, explains why he converted to Orthodox Judaism in 844 CE. Germany Asher Wade This true story documents Wade's journey from a Methodist Minister to become a piously Orthodox Rabbi in Israel. Italy Johannes-Ovadia This true story of a Norman nobleman who was inspired by a previous convert (Andreas, the Archbishop of Bari). Ovadia told the rabbi of Aleppo, Rabbi Baruch ben Yitzchak, that he came from a wealthy and powerful family, but he had decided to abandon everything to become a Jew. This revelation was not only quite astonishing, but frightening as well, since persecution was guaranteed to follow and death was a very real possibility for any gentile who risked conversion. Yet Johannes-Ovadia converted in the 12th century despite the risk factors. Hungary Miklos Brauner This true story chronicles the life of an atheist in communist Europe. After immigration to North America, the subject was approached by JW missionaries, who convinced him to join their camps. Yet after studying the original Hebrew Biblical texts, the author discovered the faith of his father, Judaism, and converted halachally.

Modern Orthodox Judaism and the arts Follow Ups Post Followup My Message Board FAQ Posted by Chaim on February 06, 2002 at 19:54:37: In Tradition's Summer 1998 issue, a symposium on American Orthodox Judaism, Michael Wyschogrod addresses the significance of serious interaction between Modern Orthodox Judaism and the arts. "Our greatest failure has been in the humanities. Where are the modern Orthodox poets, composers, painters and novelists? To many, this diagnosis will seam odd. Poetry has something to do with fancy language and rhymes,none of which is necessary for anything Jewishly important. The hasidic niggun - much of which moves me deeply - is all the Jewish music we need. Serious Jews study halakha and Jewish philosophy and, perhaps, physics and chemistry. But poetry? Poetry, at least good poetry, is not fancy language and rhymes. It is the natural medium in which spiritual awareness expresses itself. In poetry, language transcends itself and reveals new linguistic possibilities, thereby renewing the language and preventing ossification. In poetry, language not only communicates meaning but creates a realm in which the holy manifests itself. The Bible and Jewish liturgy are deeply poetic because they came out of living relationships with God by people who insisted on singing a new song (Psalms 98:1) to the Lord instead of just repeating an old one. Of course, if the search for the new includes or consists almost exclusively of halakhic vandalism, then it is a search for novelty that we do not need. But if the halakhic foundation is respected - though here, too, organic

Below is a brief selection of press clips that give an indication of the hostile environment propagated by blind power and wealth. On July 1, 1998, during a ceremony to dedicate a new Torah scroll, PM Benyamin Netanyahu claimed that every day there is some "wild incitement" against haredim . We'd like to know what the PM has to say about haredi incitement against Conservative, Reform and Hiloni Jews, as indicated in the following examples. On September 2, 1997, arsonists attacked a kindergarten run by the Reform Movement in Mevaseret Zion. While no group took responsibility for the act, there are suspicions

Orthodox Judaism Beliefs Orthodox Conservative Reform Compare to Christianity Holidays ... Resources What is Orthodox Judaism? Orthodox Judaism is not a unified movement with a single governing body, but rather many different movements adhering to common principles. All of the Orthodox movements are very similar in their observance and beliefs, differing only in the details that are emphasized. They also differ in their attitudes toward modern culture and the state of Israel. They all share one key feature: a dedication to Torah, both Written and Oral. Origins of the Movement Historically, there was no such thing as Orthodoxy; in fact, you find the particular term is used primarily in North America (elsewhere, the distinction is primarily between "more observant" and "less observant"). The specific term "Orthodox Judaism" is of rather recent origin and is used more as a generic term to differentiate the movements following traditional practices from the Liberal Jewish movements. Orthodox Theology Orthodox Judaism views itself as the continuation of the beliefs and practices of normative Judaism, as accepted by the Jewish nation at Mt. Sinai and codified in successive generations in an ongoing process that continues to this day.

MSN Home My MSN Hotmail Search ... Money Groups Converts to Judaism ConvertstoJudaism@groups.msn.com Groups Home My Groups Language Help ... Tools WELCOME ! Orthodox Judaism does not actively seek converts. That is because Judaism teaches that the righteous of all nations and peoples have a share in the World To Come. It is therefore not necessary for anyone to convert to Judaism to save their souls. G-d judges each person according to standards which only He, in His Infinite Knowledge and Mercy, can understand Jews have been referred to as the "chosen people." Many people misunderstand this statement to mean that G-d loves Jews more than others, or that Jews will be "saved" and non-Jews will not be. These ideas cannot be farther from the truth and do not come from the teachings of Judaism.. They come from non-Jews. The only way Jews are "chosen" is that we were given the Torah, the blueprint for all of creation. There had to be some group of people who would pass down in detail the information which G-d wanted people to have. Jews are also supposed to keep all of the 613 commandments contained in that Torah in order to show that the Torah is workable and to show how beautiful the ways of G-d are. Non-Jews do not have this responsibility. They only have the responsibility to keep the seven laws of the children of Noah the Seven Mitzvot of Bnai Noach, though they can certainly do many of the other commandments by choice, not responsibility. For a person to convert to Orthodox Judaism, a person must take upon himself for all eternity all of the 613 mitzvot or commandments of the Torah. This is a most serious undertaking. Generally speaking, Jews discourage people from converting to Judaism because we do not want them to become responsible to do commandments which they might not be able to keep. Promises made to G-d Himself must be kept. Only those people who have studied a long time, who understand the awesome nature of what conversion means, and who are fully prepared psychologically, intellectually, and spiritually should undergo such conversion in the presence of a legally constituted Beth Din (Jewish court consisting of 3 completely observant and knowledgeable Jewish men.)

Orthodox Judiasm Orthodox Judaism is the strictest and most right wing branch when it comes to Jewish tradition and halachah. The term "Orthodox" Judaism only emerged as a result of the other movements. Many different ideologies and beliefs are encompassed into Orthodxy. There are those who are a little bit more liberal, known as the modern orthodox. The ultra Orthodox are the least willing to comprimise anything for their beliefs and ideologies. One Orthodox sect is Chasidism . Chasidism was founded by the Ba'al Shem Tov, and originated in Europe, with the belief that other acts of kindness and prayer could be used to reach God, as opposed to the older fashion view that required high levels of learning to be a righteous Jew. The word Chasid desribes a person who does chesed, or good deeds for others, aside from himself. Chasids are very isolated form the modern world and very dedicated to maintaining every bit of Jewish law. However, despite the fact that Orthodox Jews are all very stringent in their observance of Jewish law, there are many differences which are highly evident within the Orthodox Jews. Orthodox policy varies from allowing non-Jewish and national influence, filtered for good uses, to no influence or intake of the outside world whatsoever.

Ahavat Israel Am Israel Torat Israel Eretz Israel ... Privacy Orthodox, Conservative, Reform Hundreds of Jews affiliated with the reform and conservative movements, have asked Ahavat Israel about our position in regards to the Conservative and Reform movements, and their effort to establish themselves in Israel. They want to know: Is there a place for conservative and reform Jews in Ahavat Israel? The best way to answer this question, is to understand what the conservative and reform movements see as their mission and what are their objectives and beliefs. Reform Judaism The International Rabbinic Association of Reform Judaism Declaration of Principles 1885 Pittsburgh Conference These are the foundation and basic beliefs of the reform movement: 1. We recognize in every religion an attempt to grasp the Infinite, and in every mode, source or book of revelation held sacred in any religious system the consciousness of the indwelling of G-d in man. 2.
