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

| | Will Your Grandchildren be Jewish? Intermarriage Rates & Statistics for Orthodox, Modern Orthodox, Conservative, ... |
| | Orthodox parents and Orthodox day schools seem to give their children enough good reasons for staying Jewish that even when the children are grown and have the option to intermarry and disappear from Jewish life, virtually none of them do. | | | According to the NJPS, only 28% of these children were being raised as Jews; 41% were being raised in another religion; and 31% were being raised with no religion at all. | | | Since most Orthodox families now send their children to Orthodox day school (usually for at least 12 years), the graduates of today's Orthodox day schools will probably be the forebears of most of the Jews who will exist in this country in the future. |

| | National Review: The kosher majority - Orthodox Jews as political conservatives |
| | Orthodox Jews often have large families, and their yeshiva-educated progeny stay faithful to tradition. | | | Said Benjamin Disraeli, "[The Jews] are the trustees of tradition, and conservators of the religious element.' Russell Kirk observes in The Conservative Mind that "the Jewish radical is an anomaly: The traditions of race and religion, the Jewish devotion to family, old usage, and spiritual continuity, all incline the Jew toward conservatism.' | | | The Orthodox faithful spend muchof their lives studying sacred texts, endeavoring to understand their applicability to the world about them. |

| | Executive Summary: 1999-2003 |
| | Jews are three times as likely as non-Jews (37% Jews, 12% non-Jews) to indicate a belief that there is too much religion in public life. | | | Jews see a deep affinity between Jewish and American values, but, unlike most Americans, they tend to believe that religion is first and foremost a private matter. | | | This book is a study of how Jews have grappled with the presence of religion, both their own and others', in American public life. |

| | CNN - Unorthodox prayers draw Orthodox anger at Wailing Wall - February 1, 1999 |
| | The religious differences between Reform and Orthodox Jews stem from their interpretation of the role of the Torah, the Jewish holy book. | | | The Reform rabbis were primarily from the U.S. Israel's Orthodox establishment refuses to recognize the rabbis of the Reform and Conservative movements, even though 90 percent of affiliated Jews in the United States -- home to the world's largest Jewish community -- belong to the two movements. | | | According to Orthodox Jewish law, men and women are usually segregated and assigned separate sections when they pray before the Wall. |

| | Varieties of Orthodox Judaism |
| | The adjective "Orthodox" ("correct belief") is taken from the conceptual world of Christianity, where it denotes a conservative and ritualistic religious outlook, as viewed from the perspective of liberal Protestantism. | | | Whereas the Conservative and Reform movements in America each has a single seminary, Rabbinical association and synagogue union, the Orthodox world is fragmented into diverse institutional structures. | | | Though they agree on basic issues of religious authority (e.g., the divine origins of the Bible and Oral Tradition) and the commitment to the study and observance of Jewish law, the halakhah as interpreted in a relatively inflexable manner, Orthodox Jews diverge on a broad range of secondary issues, such as: |

| | Unfortunately, the media (and many readers) seem to feel that these writers are representing the traditional Jewish community -- one "grants us the illicit pleasure of eavesdropping on a closed world," and another describes wacky newly religious types with "devastating accuracy" -- when by their own admission the authors do not identify with these worlds. | | | There is the temple's secretary who kills one of her Hadassah sisters in order to get the latest Judith Lieber bag, and a gay Reform rabbi who seduces younger male congregants. | | | At the same time, we have relied for too long on people disaffected with the Orthodox world to produce an "Orthodox literature" that verges on caricature. |

| | Lieberman, on the other hand, adheres to the most liberal and outward-looking branch of orthodoxy, Modern Orthodox Judaism, and is therefore more likely to see the law as a spectrum of opinions, rather than a definitive pronouncement. | | | The Pentateuch, or Five Books of Moses--that is, the first five books of the Old Testament--contain the 613 mitzvahs, or commandments, by which Jews live. | | | There is a powerful social presumption against abortion, and the Genesis verse has become a more common starting point for discussion. |
