THE MOVEMENTS IN JUDAISM One of the real difficulties people who become Jewish have is deciding which movement within Judaism to join. In general, there are four major movements, although there are other, much smaller, groups as well, and some Jews do not affiliate with any group at all. This section includes information about those four major groups. In alphabetical order, the groups are: Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, and Reform Judaism. For more information specifically about conversion for all movements, see the section on "Getting More Information on Conversion to Judaism." This section focuses on information about the movements themselves. It is very difficult to generalize about these groups and there is great variety within each of the movements. Therefore, the best step for a potential convert to take is to read about each of the groups that sound interesting and, especially, talk with officials of the movement and visit a local synagogue of that group to attend a service. The descriptions below are not official statements of the respective movements and therefore constitute only my own understanding of the movements. I suggest contacting the movements directly to get both official statements and guidelines on conversion. CONSERVATIVE JUDAISM . Conservative Judaism is, along with Reform Judaism, one of the largest of the groups. Conservative Jews make up about 40-45% of those Jews who affiliate. Conservative Judaism accepts the notion that Jewish law (halakhah) is binding upon Jews. That is, that Conservative Jews have an obligation to obey all the teachings (mitzvot, which is also translated as commandments) of Judaism. Thus, for example, Conservative Jews emphasize the laws of keeping the Sabbath and keeping kosher. Conservative Jews believe that Jewish law, by its very nature, is capable of evolution as humans learn more about interpreting the Torah (the first five Books of the Hebrew Bible). Therefore, Conservative Jews have changed some of the earlier interpretations. For example, men and women worship together in Conservative synagogues, people may ride in a car on the Sabbath to attend services, and women can be ordained as rabbis.

Use of the "Orthodox" label seems to have begun towards the beginning of the 19th century. Rabbi Isaac Leeser seems to have been the first to use the term in the US in his journal "The Occident," whose target audience was the more "traditional" or Orthodox Jew. The word "orthodox" itself is derived from the Greek orthos meaning "straight" and doxos meaning "opinion".

Judaism Throughout Jewish history, differences have existed between Jews in terms of their degree of religiosity and traditionalism. In recent centuries, however, these differences have increased. In contemporary Judaism, three broad categories or movements are normally identified (Orthodox, Reform, and Conservative). The most traditional Jews are referred to as Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Judaism holds that the Torah (oral and written) was given by God to Moses. Consequently, they hold that the laws of the Torah must be strictly observed. As a result, Orthodox Jews follow all the dietary laws, observe all the holidays, and enforce the segregation of the sexes in prayer. The term Orthodox Judaism is, in fact, an umbrella term which only really came into being with the development of less traditional movements. A great variety of groups are categorized as being Orthodox Judaism. Among these is the Hasidic movement (Hasidism) which emerged in the eighteenth century Poland and which is heavily based on Jewish mysticism. Hasidic men typically wear black robes, have beards, and ostracize themselves from modern secular life. In contrast, Jews of the Modern Orthodox persuasion embrace modern life while, at the same time, strictly observe Jewish law. The least traditional movement is Reform Judaism. Reform Judaism began in Germany in the early nineteenth century. In contrast to Orthodox Jews, Reform Jews do not believe that the Torah was given to the Jewish people by God. Rather, they hold that it was written by divinely inspired men. While the Torah is considered sacred, its laws are not strictly observed by those in the Reform movement. Reform Jews typically do not observe the dietary laws, which they see as being outdated. In addition, Reform Judaism does not require its participants to refrain from working on Jewish holiday. In Reform synagogues (often referred to as temples) Jewish men and women sit together and Jewish men are not required to wear either

Nonetheless, even Schlessinger's detractors were shocked by the news. "I can't tell you how significant this is," said fellow Jewish media star and "Kosher Sex" author Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who has sparred with Schlessinger over her comments on homosexuality. "Dr. Laura always equated her morals and ethics with Jewish morals and ethics. That placed the American Jewish community in a real fix; on the one hand, she made Judaism very popular, on the other, she made it vilified and hated by many people." "I think Judaism is better off not being saddled and directly associated with Dr. Laura's means," he said, adding, "although she is still a Jew." Schlessinger's office said she was unavailable for comment. In her 25 years on radio, Schlessinger said she was moved "time and time again" by listeners who wrote and described that they had "joined a church, felt loved by God and that was my anchor."

Orthodox Judaism believes that both the Written and Oral Torah are of divine origin, and represent the word of God, without any human creativity or influence. Orthodox Judaism is not a unified movement with a single governing body, but rather many different movements adhering to common principles. All Orthodox movements are similar in their observance and beliefs, differing only in the details that are emphasized While "Modern Orthodox" is characterized by slightly more liberal and Zionistic views, "Ultra-Orthodox" (also known as Haredi), tends to be the least open to change and most critical of modern society.

You are here allRefer Reference Israel History ... Israel Israel Orthodox Judaism Within the Orthodox or dati category one can distinguish between the ultra-Orthodox or haredi , and the "modern" or "neo-Orthodox." At the very extreme, the ultra-Orthodox consists of groups such as the Neturei Karta, a small fringe group of antiZionist extremists, who reject Israel and view it as a heretical entity. They want nothing to do with the state and live in enclaves (Mea Shearim in Jerusalem and towns such as Bene Beraq), where they shut out the secular modern world as much as possible. Nevertheless, among the ultra-Orthodox one can also count some of the adherents of the Agudat Israel Party, who accept the state, although not its messianic pretensions, and work within many of its institutions. These adherents are exempt from compulsory military service and do not volunteer for police work, yet they demand that the state protect their way of life, a political arrangement known as the "preservation of the status quo" (see The Role of Judaism , this ch.). 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. The state has not only committed itself to protecting the separate institutions of different Orthodox Jewish groups but also, especially since 1977, to their financial subvention.

You are here allRefer Reference Israel History ... Israel Israel Non-Orthodox Judaism The American denominations of Conservative Jews (see Glossary) and Reform Jews (see Glossary), although they have enrolled between them the vast majority of affiliated American Jews, have achieved a very modest presence in Israel. Neither Reform nor Conservative rabbinical ordination is recognized by the Israeli chief rabbinate; thus, these rabbis are generally forbidden to perform weddings or authorize divorces. (In the mid-1980s a few Conservative rabbis were granted the right, on an ad hoc basis, to perform weddings.) In the early 1980s, there were twelve Reform congregations in Israel and about 900 membersalmost 90 percent of whom were born outside the country. During the same period there were more than twenty Conservative congregations with more than 1,500 members; only about 14 percent were native-born Israelis (and, as in the case of Reform, the great majority of these were of Ashkenazi descent). Although both Reform and Conservative movements dated their presence in Israel to the 1930s, they experienced real growth, the Conservative movement in particular, only in the late 1960s to mid-1970s. During this period, relatively large numbers of American Jews immigratedmore than 36,000 between 1968 and 1975. Nevertheless, the opposition of the Israeli Orthodox establishment to recognizing Conservative and (particularly) Reform Judaism as legitimate was strong, and it continued to be unwilling to share power and patronage with these movements. Neither of the newer movements has attracted native-born Israelis in significant numbers. The importance of the non-Orthodox movements in Israel in the late 1980s mainly reflects the influence they have wielded in the American and West European Diaspora.

Orthodox Judaism Within the Orthodox or dati category one can distinguish between the ultra-Orthodox or haredi haredi and maintain their own schools, rabbinical courts, charitable institutions, and so on. The state has not only committed itself to protecting the separate institutions of different Orthodox Jewish groups but also, especially since 1977, to their financial subvention. Relations between the ultra-Orthodox and the neo-Orthodox have been complicated and not always cordial. Nevertheless, the neo-Orthodox have tended to look to the ultra-Orthodox for legitimacy on religious matters, and the ultra-Orthodox have managed to maintain their virtual monopoly on the training and certification of rabbis (including neo-Orthodox ones) in Israel. (The neo-Orthodox university, Bar-Ilan, as part of the parliamentary legislation that enabled it, was prohibited from ordaining rabbis.) Thus ultra-Orthodoxy has an aura of ultimate authenticity, a special connection to tradition that has been difficult for others to overcome. Even a staunch secularist such as David Ben-Gurion lamented during a confrontation that the ultra-Orthodox "look like our grandfathers. How can you slap your grandfather into jail, even if he throws stones at you?" Country Studies main page Israel Country Studies main page Celebrity
