| | Jewish denominations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Over time, the Jewish community has become divided into a number of religious denominations, also called "branches" or "movements". | | | In the late 18th century Europe, and then the rest of the world, was swept by a group of intellectual, social and political movements that taken together were referred to as the Enlightenment. | | | It is ideologically opposed to the cultural and ethical liberalism of much of the Conservative community, and politically and religiously opposed to the segments of the Conservative community which eventually came to comprise the Reconstructionist movement. |

| | In most cases, it seems to be either a mixture of Jewish and another religion or simply a Christian religion but rarely Buddhist or some other non- Christian religion. | | | One can hypothesize that some Jewish family traditions can be carried on even though the household may practice another religion or no religion at all. | | | In contrast to the Orthodox, the Conservative and Reform drew heavily from one or both of the major denominations; one-third of the Conservatives were raised Orthodox and one-quarter of the Reform as Conservatives with an additional 12 percent having been raised Orthodox. |

| | Jewish Denominations from WUJS - History |
| | Modern Orthodoxy which took hold under the leadership of Joseph Soleveitchik in the second half of the twentieth century, embraced a belief that traditional halachic Judaaism is not incompatible with secular American culture. | | | He developed the idea of chavurot, grassroots Jewish communities, and of Jewish community centres which would serve as the focus of the Jewish community. | | | a professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary within 1909 to 1963, taught a conception of Judaism that rejected the Jewish notion of choseness and defined God as a process rather than a supernatural power. |

| | In fact, all the American Jewish denominations must now ask themselves whether their considerable, but ultimately limited, resources are better utilized in preserving their own institutions or joining forces to confront the challenging days ahead. | | | During the next century, these boundaries became reinforced as the four main denominations each built seminaries, synagogues, congregational organizations, youth movements and schools to embody their respective messages. | | | This is also true when we notice the growing trend toward increased observance in all of the denominations, including the Reform movement. |

| | Articles - Who is a Jew? |
| | For the most part, a Jewish identity has been seen as a religious question stemming specifically from the Torah and the Hebrew Bible as a whole. | | | Familiar with Jewish culture and tradition, they nevertheless cannot fully identify as a "Jew", whether or not they embrace Judaism as a religion. | | | Identifying who is a Jew matters for religious reasons as well, a valid Jewish marriage can only exist between two Jews; a traditional minyan (the quorum required for communal prayers), can only be formed with ten adult male Jews. |

| | Still, the election-year frenzy surrounding the issue — and the sharp anti-gay agendas of some of the amendment’s backers on the religious right — may force the hand of some rabbis. | | | Still, Rabbi Moline said he has no ambivalence about an attempt to amend the Constitution to reflect the views of religious conservatives. | | | I’m hoping that with some nudging and prodding, the Jewish community will respond as it did to a different civil rights challenge.” |

| | The Platforms of Some Jewish Denominations |
| | About ten years ago, a friend of mine who was Reform said it is against Reform teachings to disbelieve in G-d, and that it is impossible to be Reform and not believe in G-d. | | | I am not absolutely certain of anything but the Orthodox and original teachings (and I welcome corrections from anyone who can furnish proof), but here's what I have gleaned about the major Jewish denominations, from information I gleaned from their own websites. | | | (Please note that the Jewish legal term of idolatry is better translated as "foreign adherence," and applies to any religion or belief system that Judaism considers such, and therefore even applies to atheism, which technically has no "worship" at all.) |
