	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 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").
		Orthodox Judaism is composed of different groups with intersecting beliefs, practices and theologies, and in their broad patterns, the Orthodox movements are very similar.
		According to Orthodox Judaism, Jewish Law today is based on the commandments in the Torah, as viewed through the discussions and debates contained in classical rabbinic literature, especially the Mishnah and the Talmud.

	Varieties of Orthodox Judaism
		The term "Orthodoxy" is applied to Jewish traditionalist movements that have consciously resisted the influences of modernization that arose in response to the European Emancipation and Enlightenment movements.
		It is not usually employed to designate Jewish traditionalism prior to the modern era, nor does the phenomenon appear in communities that were unaffected by the Reform movement; e.g., in North Africa, or in Eastern Europe before the mid-nineteenth-century.
		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.

		William Levin is not Orthodox, but he writes and illustrates an online comic strip about an Orthodox Jew.
		In one particularly irreverent strip, the Orthodox man finds the robot sitting with a Torah scroll in his lap.
		It was the most natural way, he said, for him to handle his newfound gnosticism: Although his family can trace its heritage back to the Vilna Gaon, the prominent 18th-century Jewish scholar, Levin himself grew up with a mild interest in Judaism, preferring the computer lab to Hebrew school and dating exclusively outside the faith.
