At the very extreme, the ultra-Orthodox consists of groups such as the Neturei Karta, a small fringe group of antiZionist extremists, who reject Israel and view it as a heretical entity. They want nothing to do with the state and live in enclaves (Mea Shearim in Jerusalem and towns such as Bene Beraq), where they shut out the secular modern world as much as possible. Nevertheless, among the ultra-Orthodox one can also count some of the adherents of the Agudat Israel Party, who accept the state, although not its messianic pretensions, and work within many of its institutions. These adherents are exempt from compulsory military service and do not volunteer for police work, yet they demand that the state protect their way of life, a political arrangement known as the "preservation of the status quo" (see The Role of Judaism , this ch.). In practice, they live in the same neighborhoods as the more extreme

Neither Reform nor Conservative rabbinical ordination is recognized by the Israeli chief rabbinate; thus, these rabbis are generally forbidden to perform weddings or authorize divorces. (In the mid-1980s a few Conservative rabbis were granted the right, on an ad hoc basis, to perform weddings.) In the early 1980s, there were twelve Reform congregations in Israel and about 900 membersalmost 90 percent of whom were born outside the country. During the same period there were more than twenty Conservative congregations with more than 1,500 members; only about 14 percent were native-born Israelis (and, as in the case of Reform, the great majority of these were of Ashkenazi descent). Although both Reform and Conservative movements dated their presence in Israel to the 1930s, they experienced real growth, the Conservative movement in particular, only in the late 1960s to mid-1970s. During this period, relatively large numbers of American Jews immigratedmore than 36,000 between 1968 and 1975. Nevertheless, the opposition of the Israeli Orthodox establishment to recognizing Conservative and (particularly) Reform Judaism as legitimate was strong, and it continued to be unwilling to share power and patronage with these movements. Neither of the newer movements has attracted native-born Israelis in significant numbers. The importance of the non-Orthodox movements in Israel in the late 1980s mainly reflects the influence they have wielded in the American and West European Diaspora.

83. Thunder From Sinai: The Basis Of Our Faith - Part 6: Is It Knowledge Or Is It Op The position of orthodox judaism is reduced by these groups of Conservative, Reform,etc., to just one opinion; that is to say, that while the Oral Law by http://www.messiahtruth.com/exp6.html

Please update your web browser to use our menu navigation system. [Click Here to Print] Experience: The Basis Of Our Faith Part 6: Is It Knowledge or Is It Opinion? In Judaism, Orthodox Jews have been accused by non-Orthodox Jews of being pontifical, authoritative, fundamentalists, sanctimonious, and opinionated. The position of Orthodox Judaism is reduced by these groups of Conservative, Reform, etc., to just "one opinion;" that is to say, that while the Oral Law by which Orthodox Judaism lives, sees Torah in one way, they have another view, in rejecting the Oral Law, as equally valid as the view of Orthodox Judaism. Can Orthodox Jews accept such a position, under the concept of liberalism and freedom of opinion? Can an Orthodox Jew truthfully acknowledge that his neighbor, the Conservative or Reform Jew does, in fact have a valid point... that no one has an exclusive claim on truth?... that Torah is the property of every Jew and he can interpret it as he pleases? I think not! Orthodox Judaism is based on a premise of Torah Mi'Sinai... that Hashem is the source of both the Written and Oral Torah. While the combination of both is the record of the events experienced and the Law bequeathed to the generation who received them, without the Oral Torah, the written, five Books of Moses would be a closed, ambiguous, cryptic, often contradictory set of scrolls. The Oral Law is so fundamental to the understanding of WrittenTorah that even the non Orthodox Jew, unknowingly lives by its teachings.

85. Untitled orthodox judaism. orthodox judaism is a relatively small movement, makingup about 10 per cent of those Jews who affiliate. Orthodox http://www.convert.org/movement.htm

THE MOVEMENTS IN JUDAISM One of the real difficulties people who become Jewish have is deciding which movement within Judaism to join. In general, there are four major movements, although there are other, much smaller, groups as well, and some Jews do not affiliate with any group at all. This section includes information about those four major groups. In alphabetical order, the groups are: Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, and Reform Judaism. For more information specifically about conversion for all movements, see the section on "Getting More Information on Conversion to Judaism." This section focuses on information about the movements themselves. It is very difficult to generalize about these groups and there is great variety within each of the movements. Therefore, the best step for a potential convert to take is to read about each of the groups that sound interesting and, especially, talk with officials of the movement and visit a local synagogue of that group to attend a service. The descriptions below are not official statements of the respective movements and therefore constitute only my own understanding of the movements. I suggest contacting the movements directly to get both official statements and guidelines on conversion. CONSERVATIVE JUDAISM . Conservative Judaism is, along with Reform Judaism, one of the largest of the groups. Conservative Jews make up about 40-45% of those Jews who affiliate. Conservative Judaism accepts the notion that Jewish law (halakhah) is binding upon Jews. That is, that Conservative Jews have an obligation to obey all the teachings (mitzvot, which is also translated as commandments) of Judaism. Thus, for example, Conservative Jews emphasize the laws of keeping the Sabbath and keeping kosher. Conservative Jews believe that Jewish law, by its very nature, is capable of evolution as humans learn more about interpreting the Torah (the first five Books of the Hebrew Bible). Therefore, Conservative Jews have changed some of the earlier interpretations. For example, men and women worship together in Conservative synagogues, people may ride in a car on the Sabbath to attend services, and women can be ordained as rabbis.

In general, when speaking of "movements" in this site, we are mostly referring to movements in the United States in the 20th century. Movements Before the 20th Century All Jewish movements that exist today are derived from one movement, identified in the Christian scriptures as the Pharisees.  At the dawn of Christianity, there were several different competing schools of thought:  the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes, and the Zealots.  The Pharisaic school of thought is the only one that survived the destruction of the Temple .  The Pharisees believed that God gave the Jews both a written Torah and an oral Torah , both of which were equally binding and both of which were open to reinterpretation by the rabbis , people with sufficient education to make such decisions.  The Pharisees were devoted to study of the

Orthodox Judaism is distinguished from the other two by strict, literal, and very traditional interpretation and adherence to the Jewish laws (known as halakah Orthodox Jews believe that both the Oral and the Written Torah was given to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai and that in this Torah there are 613 commandments which all Jews must obey to the best of their ability. Unlike other Jewish groups, Orthodox Jews do not accept the idea that there is any human component to the Torah. Thus, it must be treated as the actual words of God just as they stand. Orthodox Jews are commonly divided into two groups: Orthodox and Ultra-orthodox. The former are the most common and, while they endeavor to obey the commandments as much as possible, they do not allow that to prevent them from integrating into modern society. Ultra-orthodox, however, regard the modern world as not only fallen, but also as an impediment to following the Torah. Thus, they refuse to integrate and hold themselves apart, a society within the larger society.

Orthodox Judaism Orthodox Judaism is a form of Judaism that is very traditional, demanding strict observance of traditional Jewish laws. Such laws, for example, would include dietary laws which insist on kosher foods, prepared in a specific manner with the exclusion of certain foods considered unclean, such as pork and shellfish. Orthodox Jews also believe that both the Torah and Talmud are relevant laws given to them from Moses through God. The Torah and Talmud contain the laws of the Jewish people as revealed on Mount Sinai. BM Archive this Web Page!

Local News Carolina Sports Business ... SUBSCRIBE Orthodox Judaism taking root in Lowcountry Rabbis from Chabad seeking to 'gather the scattered seed' of Israel. By Terri Jo Ryan Carolina Morning News The Talmud teaches that one cannot rely on miracles, says Rabbi Yossi Groner of Lubavitch of the Carolinas. Jews have to help make miracles happen. A small step toward the "miracle" of an Orthodox religious presence in the Lowcountry was taken Wednesday, when a small group gathered to discuss the feasibility of launching a Chabad Center in the area. The gathering, at the home of Rose Hill residents Orly and David Benny-Davis, brought together about two dozen Jews from Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Sun City and Savannah. They represented the spectrum of belief systems Reform, Conservative and Orthodox. "The Lubavitch movement is unique," Groner said in a recent interview, "in that it tries to reach out to all Jewish people, and not necessarily with the goal that they be Orthodox." The larger aim, he explained, is to encourage Jews to be more observant of the laws and practices of the faith, to take pride in their culture and expand their learning through study of the texts. A return to tradition is a trend across the country, he added. While the previous generation was more assimilationist in tenor, with the influx of stigmatized Jews wanting to shake off their ethnicity, "this generation is very confident in its Americanism. But they want to know their roots, and where they are going.

94. Orthodox Anti-Zionism Short article on the religious basis of opposition to Zionism within ultraorthodox judaism. http://www.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/363_Transp/Orthodoxy/Naturei.html

Orthodox Anti-Zionism Rabbi Amram Blau Until the Nazi Holocaust, much of the Orthodoxy was antagonistic to the Zionist aspiration of establishing a national home for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. In large measure this opposition was less to Zionism itself than to the Zionists, for most of the Zionist activists were secularists who rejected the traditional authority of the Rabbis in favour of "foreign" ideologies such as socialism and nationalism. Zionism constituted a serious threat to the traditional religious power structure. The issue was felt more urgently in Palestine itself, where the "old Yishuv " (settlement) A Scene from the "Old Yishuv lived unproductively off the donations of Diaspora Jews, whereas the Zionist settlers were calling for the Jews to be self-supporting and to involve themselves in economically productive manual labour. As a theological justification for their position, they cite various Rabbinic traditions that forbid the hastening of the Redemption. The most intransigent and extreme of the Orthodox anti-Zionist parties is the Naturei Karta movement, a small but vocal organization that broke off from
