 | | Broadly, the subgroups of Orthodoxy comprise Modern Orthodox Judaism, Haredi Judaism, and Hasidic Judaism. | | | Orthodox Judaism affirms monotheism, the belief in one God. | | | Orthodox Judaism is composed of different groups with intertwining beliefs, practices and theologies, and in their broad patterns, the Orthodox movements are very similar. |

| | Haredi Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Haredi leaders warned that "if the Jews do not make 'kiddush', the gentiles will make 'havdalah'." 'Kiddush' refers to the beginning ceremonies of the Shabbat, which sanctifies the day through joy and sets it apart from the mundane. | | | It would have been easy for the Haredi community to explain the events of the 1930s-1950s as the direct result of most Jews abandoning their religious beliefs. | | | Haredi Jews, like other Orthodox Jews, consider their belief system and religious practices to extend in an unbroken chain back to Moses and the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. |

| | Myswizard » Judaism |
| | Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. | | | Although monotheism is fundamental to Rabbinic Judaism, many critical Bible scholars claim that certain verses in the Torah imply that the early Israelites accepted the existence of other gods, while viewing their God as the sole Creator, whose worship is obligated (a rather henotheistic point of view). | | | Despite this fact, Judaism in all its variations has remained tightly bound to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent, transcendent God who created the universe, and continues to be involved in its governance. |

| | Rabbi - Voyager, the free encyclopedia |
| | Haredi Judaism and Hasidic Judaism hold that becoming a rabbi in and of itself is not important. | | | Consequently, within the world of Hasidic Judaism and Haredi Judaism, the English word and title of "Rabbi" for anyone is often-times scorned and derided, because in their view the once-lofty title of "Rabbi" has been debased in modern times. | | | The seminary of Reform Judaism is the Hebrew Union College. |

| | Jewish Fundamentalism In Israel--the eugenic state. |
| | Many Haredi rabbis, for example, assert that the Holocaust, including most particularly the deaths of one-and-a-half million Jewish children, was a well-deserved divine punishment, not only for all the sins of modernity and faith renunciation by many Jews, but also for the decline of Talmudic study in Europe. | | | Haredi political success can best be measured by the amounts of money the two Haredi parties were able to obtain from the state through so-called "special money" grants, not subject to fiscal controls of the state. | | | Haredi parties, in their attempt to preserve an ancient Jewish regime, have to date constituted a political backlash directed against the tide of modernity that engulfed the NRP. |

| | What is clear is that with all of its troubles and in spite of the current spate of anti-Semitism the Zionist enterprise has been a boon for the Jewish people in general and for Haredi Judaism in particular. | | | However, what modern-Orthodoxy has that the haredi or Chabad worlds on the one hand or the Conservative and Reform on the other don't is the ability to sit, listen and talk to people on all sides. | | | For Judaism, according to Soloveitchik, the belief in the messiah is a belief in the potential goodness of man. For Christianity, it is a belief in original sin. |

| | Reiterating that secular Jewish interest in Israel heightened after the attack upon Barak and the Supreme Court, Albaum observed that increasing numbers of secular Israelis are insulted when they read in the Haredi press that their lives are garbage and their children are hallucinating, lifeless drug addicts. | | | According to Albaum, the violent attacks in the Haredi press upon Aharon Barak, the president of the Israeli Supreme Court, attracted increased public attention. | | | The Haredi press called Barak "the most dangerous enemy ever to face the Haredi public." Albaum pointed out that the earlier Haredi press attacks upon the left-wing kibbutzim, the Israeli army, the secular media and many other secular institutions and figures aroused little general interest. |

| | In the 1980s Rabbi Elazar Shach, leader of Israel's "Lithuanian" Haredi Jews and its pre-eminent rosh yeshiva ("yeshiva dean") at the time, split with Agudat Israel and created the new Degel HaTorah ("Flag [of] Torah") party, that was Haredi but not beholden to the Hasidic leaders who controlled Agudat Israel. | | | Thus, Agudat Israel became the Hasidic wing of the United Torah Judaism (Yahadut HaTorah) (UTJ) party following Degel HaTorah's creation, with Agudat Israel representing mostly the Hasidim, and Degel HaTorah representing the non-Hasidic Haredi Jews (sometimes known by the old label of mitnagdim) in Israel. | | | It originated in the original Agudath Israel movement founded in Europe in the early part of the twentieth century. |
