| | 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. |

| | Orthodox Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Orthodox Judaism affirms monotheism, the belief in one God. | | | Orthodox Judaism is composed of different groups with intersecting beliefs, practices and theologies, and in their broad patterns, the Orthodox movements are very similar. | | | While many Orthodox Jews accept the label "Orthodox", others reject and are critical of it (as it was never traditionally applied to Jews in ancient times or the Middle Ages) and prefer to call their faith "Torah Judaism". |

| | Orthodox Jews claim that it is expressed directly in Torah (the Hebrew Bible), where God incorporates it into the Ten Commandments: "...I am the Lord your God. | | | Judaism affirms a number of basic principles of faith that one is expected to uphold in order to be said to be in consonance with the Jewish faith. |

| | Haredi Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Reform, Conservative, and even Modern Orthodox Judaism were seen as potentially threatening to the very continuity of the community. | | | As with the nineteenth century Reform Judaism movement in Germany, the result was mutual recriminations, rejection, and harsh verbal attacks. | | | There is a mutual dependency between the two communities: the Modern Orthodox generally respect and adhere to the religious rulings of the Haredi leadership, while the Haredi often depend on university trained Modern Orthodox professionals to provide for needs that members of their own community cannot. |

| | Modern Orthodox Judaism: Information From Answers.com |
| | 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. | | | Judaism is the vehicle whereby we sanctify our lives, and "attach all the practical, secular elements of life to spiritual goals which reflect the absolute meaning of existence - God Himself" [4] (http://www.vbm-torah.org/archive/rk1-kook.htm). | | | A certain amount of Modern Orthodox acceptance of higher criticism for non-Torah books of the Bible can be found in the Soncino Books of the Bible series, and in the Pentateuch and Haftarah by Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz, both works which are widely used in the Modern Orthodox community. |

| | Jews against Israel |
| | Orthodox Jews believed that exile was a punishment from God for their insufficient faith and that only God could end the exile and bring the Jews back to the Holy Land. | | | They're bound by a conviction, once shared by most Orthodox Jews, that Zionism is an affront to God and that peace won't prevail until the state of Israel is dismantled. | | | At the same time, says Biale, the rabbis aren't entirely wrong to see themselves as the last remnant of traditional Judaism, preserving an ancient religion from the spiritual transformations occasioned by the shock of the Holocaust. |

| | Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Judaism |
| | Thus for the Orthodox maintaining practices is vital in order to recall their suffering and wandering, the faith of Abraham that remembers Moses, the Exodus, the destruction of the Temples and all subsequent suffering including the Holocaust. | | | The Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox who support the existence of Israel do so on the basis that this State facilitates the coming of the Messiah. | | | They believe that the sacred canopy of the Middle Ages (when people more easily believed in the workings of the supernatural) was the most suitable time for the wider cultural support to their faith. |

| | S.C.J. FAQ: Section 2.16. Who We Are: Why shouldn't I say "ultra-Orthodox", "Reformed Judaism", or ... |
| | Many people outside the Orthodox community mistakenly identify those who wear Chassidic garb (long black coats, earlocks for men, wigs/kerchiefs for women) as "ultra-Orthodox." In fact, the Chassidic groups are no more or less observant than other Orthodox groups who do not dress so distinctively. | | | In practice, the term is usually used as a disparaging synonym for Orthodox or Chassidic. | | | The term "Chareidi" (literally: "trembling" as in "trembling in awe of HaKadosh Baruch Hu (the Holy One Praised by he).") tends to refer to the same people as described by "Ultra-Orthodox" but is more acceptable. |

| | Israel - Orthodox 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. |

| | All Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and many Modern Orthodox Jews, hold that these texts are divine and infallible. | | | Jews believe that the Tanach (Hebrew Bible, Old Testament) can not be understood literally or alone, but rather needs to be read in conjunction with additional material known as the oral law; this material is contained in the Mishnah and the Talmud. | | | Orthodox Judaism, especially Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, is a fundamentalist Jewish denomination, as opposed to Reform Judaism and Conservative Judaism which are theologically opposed to fundamentalism. |

| | In fact, for most of her life she was the ultimate conformist, someone who followed the rules and didn’t make waves. | | | For years, Sieger lived what seemed to be a typical existence in Brooklyn’s community of 50,000 Bobover Hasids. | | | “When everything goes smoothly, there is no better place to be than in an ultra-Orthodox marriage and an ultra-Orthodox community,” says novelist Naomi Ragen, an American who lives in Jerusalem and who has written three books about Orthodox women. |
