	Orthodox Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orthodox Judaism is the stream of Judaism which adheres to a relatively strict interpretation and application of the laws and ethics first canonized in the Talmud ("The Oral Law") and later codified in the Shulkhan Arukh ("Code of Jewish Law").
		Broadly, the subgroups of Orthodoxy comprise Modern Orthodox Judaism and Haredi Judaism, the latter comprising Hasidic Judaism and Litvish (non-Hasidic Hareidi) Judaism.
		Orthodox Judaism considers all other Jewish movements to be unacceptable deviations from authentic Judaism; both because of other denomination's dubiety of the verbal revelation of Written and Oral Torah, and because of their rejection of Halakhic (Jewish legal) precedent as binding.

		Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah that we have today is exactly the same as it was when it was received from God by Moses with only minor scribal errors.
		Some of the reasons for the rejection of Hasidic Judaism were the overwhelming exuberance of Hasidic worship; their untraditional ascriptions of infallibility and alleged miracle-working to their leaders, and the concern that it might become a messainic sect.
		Judaism developed into several distinct denominations in response to this unprecedented phenomenon: Reform Judaism and Liberal Judaism, many forms of Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and a number of smaller groups as well.

	Does Modern Orthodoxy Have a Future? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.
		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.

	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.
		The key to understanding Orthodox Judaisms, I believe, is to correctly identify the relationship between texts and tradition.
		I like your use of the term "Orthodox Judaisms" (to remind your readers that Orthodoxy is not a monolith) and I'm fascinated by your theory that tradition takes precedence over text (inasmuch as halakha sometimes permits what the Talmud forbids, and vice versa).

	The Orthodox Paradox
		ADDerabbi discusses how the move to bar American Modern Orthodox conversions is stemming particularly from a suspect "Vaad HaRabbonim HaOlami LeInyanei Giyur", an entirely Charedi organization whose sole purpose is to create a Charedi hegemony over conversions.
		At a time when the very legitimacy of Modern Orthodoxy is being assaulted by the Charedi leadership, one finds it ironic then that those who are being challenged then pursue a witch hunt within their own ranks.
		Charedi Judaism, a product of both Eastern European ultra-Orthodoxy and Israeli political parties, needs to recognize once and for all that it is not the ONLY path to Orthodox Judaism.
