		Orthodox Judaism, as it exists today, is considered by historians to have begun developing as a response to the Enlightenment in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
		Orthodox Jews view halakha (Jewish law) as a set of rules, and principles designed to create new rules, that were literally spoken to Moses by God on Mount Sinai.
		Sephardic Orthodox Jews base their practices on the Shulkhan Arukh, the 16th century legal index written by Rabbi Joseph Karo; Ashkenazic Orthodox Jews base their practices on the Mappah, a commentary to the Shulkhan Arukh written by Rabbi Moses Isserles.

	Many Orthodox Jews like Lieberman, but stick to GOP
		Orthodox Jews -- the most observant of Jewish denominations -- are barely a blip on the voting radar screen, making up 5 percent of the Jewish population, according to the latest data in the National Jewish Community Public Affairs Survey.
		Orthodox Jews believe in adhering to all of the Old Testament commandments regarding Jewish life, such as dietary restrictions and rules on when to pray.
		Modern Orthodox Jews, like Lieberman, share the same beliefs but are more lenient on some points, believing they can fully participate in secular society and abandoning the strict dress of fl coats and side curls.

	Orthodox Judaism
		Orthodox Judaism is not a unified movement with a single governing body, but many different movements adhering to common principles.
		Orthodox Judaism views itself as the continuation of the beliefs and practices of normative Judaism, as accepted by the Jewish nation at Mt. Sinai and codified in successive generations in an ongoing process that continues to this day.
		Orthodox Judaism believes that both the Written and Oral Torah are of divine origin, and represent the word of Gd.

	Judaism
		Orthodox Jews have a fundamentalist and rigid interpretation of their religion, and the Jews that are most negative towards the modern society are normally from this group.
		Many Jews have felt in exile when living in especially European countries, and many have known that their future in one spot cannot always be taken for granted.
		For many Jews, the synagogue in Jerba, Tunisia, is considered the oldest synagogue in Africa and hence sacred.

	Will your Grandchildren be Jewish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Once a Jew intermarries, he or she as an individual remains Jewish, of course, but the likelihood of that person having any Jewish descendants is close to nil.
		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.
		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.

		Jew: this is a term derived from a geo-political designation; Jews are identified with the country of Judea and its nation; this indicates ethnic and national identity rather than just belief or practice.
		A sample of Jews subdivided according to the birth-place of their parents or grand-parents have been examined for a large number of genetic markers in the course of a long-term project on the genetics of Jews.
		The Jew saw them all beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.

	Executive Summary: 1999-2003
		It was sent to American Jews, to a group of non-Jews similar to Jews in terms of their education and region, and to a sample of Jewish leaders who participated in the Annual Plenum of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA).
		Jews are far more disturbed than non-Jews by the high profile of religion in the presidential campaign, both globally and with respect to the four American candidates.
		While the percent of Conservative, Orthodox and Reconstructionist Jews is very similar to the results of the NJPS study, the percentage of individuals identifying themselves as Reform (27%) is significantly less than the 41% identified nationally.

		Almost all Orthodox families today give their children the greatest number of years of Jewish education; this seems to be crucial to their exceptionally low intermarriage rate.
		As stated earlier, long-term Jewish survival depends on four choices that each individual Jew makes: the level of personal observance; the choice to marry another Jew; the desire to have two or more children if possible; and the absolute priority of providing maximal Jewish education for oneself and one's children.
		The data does not comment on whether Orthodox Jews are better as people, or as Jews, than anyone else.

	National Review: The kosher majority - Orthodox Jews as political conservatives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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 objective is to make the Jew cognizant of his dependence on the Creator and to cultivate a sense of gratitude for divine beneficence.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Zionists
		Orthodox Judaism holds to a Zionism pure and simple, the return of the Jews to Palestine, the coming of the Messias, the overthrow of hostile powers by Him, the restoration of the Temple and its worship, the Messianic reign.
		The practical carrying out of Zionism by orthodox Jews has until recently been attempted only fitfully and very ineffectually, and often with no return to Zion as an objective.
		Jewish settlements were established in the upper Mississippi region by W.D. Robinson, 1819; near Jerusalem, by the American Consul Warder Cresson, a convert to Judaism, 1850; in Prague, by Steinschneider, 1835; and elsewhere.

		Deborah Roth's letter (Nov. 5), stating that the Orthodox interpretation of Jewish law is definitive of who is a Jew and denying the political implications of the Orthodox position, illustrates two of the problems behind the tensions in the community.
		That the Orthodox have relevant interpretations of Jewish law is not in question, but that they have exclusive authenticity is. The law is not necessarily what the Orthodox establishment interprets it to be.
		It is important that the Orthodox and the liberal both survive and thrive – along with a continuing secular tradition.

		That is why he is not openly gay in his Orthodox community (and why he, and several other gay men interviewed for this article, asked that their real names not be used).
		For gay Orthodox Jews, the rise in support groups is a promising development—even though these groups are not officially sanctioned.
		But few Orthodox rabbis have ever stood up and publicly addressed the issue or provided any halachic (Jewish legal) parameters beyond the standard "It is an abomination." No rabbi wants to be seen as possibly condoning an act that has been outlawed by God in the Torah.

	What Do Orthodox Jews Think About Abortion and Why? Judith Shulevitz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Lieberman is right to say that Orthodox Jews have differing opinions on abortion, but wrong to create the impression that the liberal notion of abortion on demand is among them.
		Lieberman could also argue that while Jewish law doesn't leave it up to a woman to decide whether to abort her pregnancy, that decision is left to her rabbi, so a national policy of abortion on demand actually grants rabbis the greatest possible scope for the exercise of their authority.
		In a post-Holocaust world, however, some Orthodox Jews have considered it an implicit imperative to repopulate their ranks and have begun to have extremely large families.

		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.
		The traditional Orthodox characters in their novels tend to be hypocrites.
		Rather, it is rooted in their ability to navigate the misrepresented Orthodox world as insiders - i.e., those who do not carry "discomfort with religiosity" -- while bringing an 'outside' literary sensibility.
