	Orthodox Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah, including both the Written Law and the Oral Law, was given directly from God to Moses and can never be altered or rejected in any way.
		Orthodox Judaism is composed of different groups with intersecting beliefs, practices and theologies, and in their broad patterns, the Orthodox movements are very similar.
		Orthodox Jews will also study the Talmud for its own sake; this is considered to be the greatest mitzvah of all; see Torah study.

		For several centuries before the Emancipation of European Jewry, Jews were forced to live in closed communities, where their culture and religious observances persevered, no less because of internal pressure within their own community as because of the failure of the outside world to accept them.
		For some Jews, it was an opportunity to escape the physical and psychological restraints imposed by the ghetto while benefiting from the enduring sense of community by finding some way of spanning the two worlds.
		In other cases, Modern Orthodox leaders are considered to have passed the bounds of religious propriety and condemned for this in especially harsh, biblical terms, since those leaders, unlike Reform and Conservative rabbis, are believed to have the requisite learning and should have known better.

		Haredi Jews, like other Orthodox Jews, consider their belief system and religious practices to extend in an unbroken chain back to Moses and the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.
		The Haredi Jews point out that even such liberals as Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism, at one time contemplated the mass conversion of the Jews to Christianity as a means of eliminating anti-Semitism.
		On the other hand, less orthodox Israelis (Reform Judaism and Conservative Judaism who have always had a negligible presence in Israel), began questioning whether a "status quo" based on the conditions of the 1940s and 1950 was still relevant in the 1980s and 1990s.

	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").
		In the twentieth century, a large segment of the Orthodox population (notably as represented by World Agudath Israel movement formally established in 1912) disagreed, and took a stricter approach.
		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.

	Neturei Karta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In their view, Zionism is a presumptuous affront against God; Neturei Karta teaches that Jews must wait for God to end the exile of the Jews, and that human attempts to do so are sinful.
		Their websites claims that the Zionists deliberately condemned thousands of Jews to die in Nazi gas chambers, rather than allow them to emigrate to destinations other than Palestine, in order for the Zionists to claim a Zionist State.
		One provision of the pact was (1) that the Jews would not rebel against the non-Jewish world that gave them sanctuary; a second was (2) that they would not immigrate en masse to the Land of Israel.

		Modern Orthodox Jews, with their, well, modern attire and often clean-shaven faces are a world apart from ultra-Orthodox Jews, with their fl clothes, fl hats, beards for men, and dangling earlocks.
		Orthodox families tend to send their children to Orthodox day schools, when these are locally available.
		Orthodox Judaism looks forward to the advent of the Messiah, a utopian future of world peace and fellowship, in which the central Temple in Jerusalem, destroyed by the Romans in 70 C.E., will be rebuilt and the Davidic dynasty will be reinstated.

		Most secular historians claim, however, that the ultra-Orthodox are a relatively modern group, dating back to the Enlightenment and emancipation of Jews in Western and Central Europe.

	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.

	Israel & Judaism
		In his book Jew Vs. Jew, Samuel Freedman, a professor of journalism at Columbia University, shows that the divisions among American Jews are profound: “To say that American Jews differ on the issue—recent polls find about two-thirds favoring the land-for-peace formula—is to see only the surface of a widening chasm.
		The opposition, resting disproportionately in the Orthodox population, is the segment of American Jewry most involved with Israel, most committed to it in concrete actions.
		Orthodox educators often staff the day schools and Hebrew schools of the Conservative and Reform movements.

		But Ultra-Orthodox Jews have thrived in Israel, and today about 30,000 are exempt from the draft--an inequity with no basis in law.
		Whereas exemptions from military service are routinely granted to Ultra-Orthodox Jews (ostensibly in the belief that the study of religious sacred texts supercedes any other worldly occupation including military defense), secular conscientious objectors find obtaining an exemption almost impossible and degrading.
		However, it is for this very reason that many Ultra-Orthodox, who seclude themselves in their own insular communities in order to preserve their way of life, are opposed to serving in the military.

	CNN - Ultra-Orthodox Jews protest Israeli court rulings - February 14, 1999
		JERUSALEM (CNN) -- The religious and secular divisions of Israel took to the streets of Jerusalem on Sunday as tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews protested what they say are Supreme Court intrusions into their way of life, while thousands of secular Jews held a counter-protest.
		Many secular Jews, who make up 70 percent of Israel's Jewish population, resent a 50-year-old political deal that allows the ultra-Orthodox to avoid service in the army, which is mandatory for most Israelis.
		Israeli television, covering both protests live, contrasted Orthodox Jews clad in bulky fl suits in unseasonably warm weather praying in unison with secular Jewish teen-age girls in t-shirts playing air guitar in the park.

		Moreover, time and population trends are on the side of religious Jews, since they take to heart the Biblical command "Be ye fruitful and multiply." There may be as many as 10 to 11 children per family.

		JERUSALEM —; Tensions are mounting between Israel's two leading Orthodox parties after Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef suggested it is acceptable to kill members of the rival National Religious Party who criticize army exemptions for yeshiva students.
		Nevertheless, Yosef's attack on the NRP highlights a controversy that goes to the heart of the role of ultra-Orthodox Jews, or charedim, in Israeli society.
		The NRP represents Modern Orthodox religious Zionists who participate fully in all aspects of society, including the workforce and, among men, the army.

		It is despicable for them to disown their children for joining the IDF, it is these same children and their less orthodox and secular countrymen who keep Israel safe and free.

		After 1977, to a large extent at the instigation of Rabbi Shakh, ultra-orthodox Jews began to attempt to influence mainstream Israeli society, with a view to ensuring that public life was in greater harmony with religious tradition.

	Why Orthodox Jews are jaded
		We remember how, back in 1986, when a number of Jerusalem bus shelters were mysteriously torched, the press reported that the culprits were "Ultra-Orthodox" Jews venting their objections to ads posted on the shelters that featured scantily-clad women.
		What was not widely reported, though -- even after retaliatory arson attacks on yeshivos and Orthodox synagogues -- was that only one arrest was ever made: a young non-religious man who confessed to setting a shelter afire to cast aspersion on the Orthodox.
		More recently, an Orthodox rabbinical group was widely reported to have declared that the "Non-Orthodox" are "Not Jews," in the words of the headline over the original front-page Los Angeles Times story.

		The ring is said to be one of the biggest to be 'cleaning' profits amassed by the Colombian coke barons, with the strange twist that it is run by a group from the Jewish community that acts as moral and spiritual guardian of the Orthodox faith.
		In that case, the drug was smuggled in boxes worn either under traditional Hassidic hats or next to the heart, intended to contain prayer scrolls, or else packed into white athletic socks.
		He and another Hassidic orthodox, Aaron Bornstein, were arrested last week, but sources at the Manhattan District Attorney's office told The Observer that a ringleader is still being sought and that the case may go far wider and deeper than the $1.7 billion Zaltzman and Bornstein are accused of laundering.
