 | | Outside of the US it is known as Masorti (Hebrew for "Traditional") Judaism. | | | The term "secular" is more popular as a self-description among Israeli families of western (European) origin, whose Jewish identity may be a very powerful force in their lives, but who see it as largely independent of traditional religious belief and practice. | | | There is a great deal of ambiguity in the ways "secular" and "traditional" are used in Israel. |
