| | Orthodox Judaism |
 | | Orthodox Judaism is the direct successor of early Rabbinic or Talmudical Judaism (See Talmudical Judaism), holding that the "Oral Torah" particularly as it is contained in the Bavli (or Babylonian Talmud) has divine authority equal to that of the "Written Torah" in the Hebrew Bible. | | | In the orthodox tradition practice in relation to circumcision, the dietary laws, the sabbath, the calendar, the role of women, marriage, the use of Hebrew in worship, the study of the Talmud and the rabbinate, is of such importance that it to some extent outweighs deviations in theological belief. | | | Orthodox Jewish women, inspired by the women's movement in secular society, have questioned traditional teaching on such matters as the remarriage of divorcees and the participation of women in public worship. |

| | Modern Orthodox Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Orthodox Judaism makes clear distinctions between the books of the Hebrew Bible, holding that the first five books - the Torah - are of a special nature, being directly dictated by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. | | | Modern Orthodox Judaism (or Modern Orthodox, also known as Modern Orthodoxy and sometimes abbreviated as "MO") is a movement within Orthodox Judaism that attempts to synthesize traditional observance and values with the secular modern world. | | | His approach may be defined as "Cultured Orthodox" and as representing "[u]nconditional agreement with the culture of the present day; harmony between Judaism and science; but also unconditional steadfastness in the faith and traditions of Judaism" [6]. |

| | Judaism |
| | Judaism was the first religion to teach Monotheism, or belief in one God. | | | But with the lengthy development of Judaism and its many changes it is incorrect to posit, as some have done, that Jewish history produced two separate religions: an OT religion of Israel and the postexilic religion of Judaism. | | | Deprived of land, temple, and cultic priestly ministrations, Judaism began to adopt a nonsacrificial religion. |

| | Orthodox Judaism |
| | Orthodox Judaism believes that both the Written and Oral Torah are of divine origin, and represent the word of Gd. | | | Orthodox Judaism is not a unified movement with a single governing body, but many different movements adhering to common principles. | | | An excellent summary of the core beliefs of Orthodox Judaism may be found in the Rambam's 13 Principles of Faith. |

| | Judaism 101: Movements of Judaism |
| | It includes the modern Orthodox, who have largely integrated into modern society while maintaining observance of halakhah (Jewish Law), the Chasidim, who live separately and dress distinctively (commonly, but erroneously, referred to in the media as the "ultra-Orthodox"), and the Yeshivish Orthodox, who are neither Chasidic nor modern. | | | The Orthodox movements are all very similar in belief, and the differences are difficult for anyone who is not Orthodox to understand. | | | Conservative Judaism generally accepts the binding nature of halakhah, but believes that the Law should change and adapt, absorbing aspects of the predominant culture while remaining true to Judaism's values. |

| | Judaism requires belief in God as the creator of the Universe, but is relatively unconcerned with exactly how or when He created it. | | | Other religions (for instance, some orthodox Jewish sects) also reject the scientific notion of evolution in favor of a literal Biblical rendition of the origins of the earth and living things. | | | Within Judaism there is a notion of sh'erit hapleta.-the faithful remnant. |

| | YUTOPIA: Understanding Orthodox Judaism |
| | As mentioned previously (and obvious to many readers), Orthodox Judaism is considered to be religious, traditional, and/or authentic, but there are several gradations and sub-categories within Orthodoxy. | | | Even if Orthodox Jews are inconsistent, they still believe that God gave the Torah and Jews are obligated to fulfill the will of God and as understood by the Rabbinic Sages. | | | The key to understanding Orthodox Judaisms, I believe, is to correctly identify the relationship between texts and tradition. |

| | Judaism: Open orthodoxy! A modern Orthodox rabbi's creed |
| | The belief in Torah mi-Sinai is, for all Orthodox Jews, the foundation of faith and at the core of the Halakhic process. | | | There are two areas in which we differ from the Orthodox Right vis-a-vis Torat Yisrael (the Torah of Israel). | | | But if we Modern Orthodox share with the Orthodox Right the same fundamental Halakhic principles, we do part company on some very basic ideological issues. |

| | Does Modern Orthodoxy Have a Future? |
| | In the absence of a Modern Orthodoxy that aspires to be both modern and Orthodox, it is difficult to imagine a future in which the two aspects of that fragile equation do not split into their constituent parts. | | | On its right, modern practice is rapidly losing its religious authority to the encroaching dominance of the haredim; on its left, it is losing its worldly authority to other forms of Judaism that are more willing and able to adapt to contemporary life. | | | Schools are at the heart of Modern Orthodoxy &; and of these two books — because being a Modern Orthodox Jew is defined by a joint inculcation into two distinctly separate worlds, and the amount of exposure to each determines one's place along the political-religious spectrum. |

| | The modern Orthodox community must embrace and support the State of Israel so that it can maintain its significance as a religious and spiritual center for the entire Jewish world. | | | For centuries, the Land of Israel has played a special role in the thoughts and prayers of the Jewish people. | | | At the same time, the Jews of the Diaspora must ensure that Israel remains the focus of our studies, thoughts, and prayers so that future generations continue to view Israel as a religiously, historically, and culturally significant component of Judaism. |

| | Most Orthodox Zionists have been "ultra-hawkish" and irredentist in orientation; Gush Emunim, the Bloc of the Faithful, is the most prominent of these groups. | | | A minority of other Zionist groups, for example, Oz Veshalom, an Orthodox Zionist movement that is the religious counterpart to Peace Now, have been more moderate. | | | In practice, they live in the same neighborhoods as the more extreme haredi and maintain their own schools, rabbinical courts, charitable institutions, and so on. |

| | Like Wittgenstein, I cannot help looking at every question from a religious point of view. | | | Orthodox Jews are conspicuous among the faculty; quite a few of the professors in fields other than Jewish studies are Jewishly learned; a couple of Jewish studies professors regularly teach in other areas as well. | | | These teachings reside in a vast literature, starting with the Hebrew Bible and the Talmudic corpus and continuing through over a thousand years of legal and theological commentary, works of jurisprudence, and philosophical creativity. |

| | Theater News - Reviews: Modern Orthodox - |
| | Harris plays Rachel Feinberger, an Orthodox Jewess with a liberal take on orthodoxy and, particularly, on certain proscribed sexual practices. | | | As for the hilarious Jenn Harris, she gives the kind of performance that causes people to ask, "Where's she been until now?" It turns out that she's been spending preparatory time with the Second City troupe, and this shows in her keen improvisational style. | | | They have few real problems, even if Ben feels guilty about his lax attitude toward Judaism and is resentful of Orthodox Jews because he thinks they recognize that guilt. |
