		Families tend to be large, reflecting adherence to the Torah commandment "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28, 9:1,7).
		There, as in the United States, the community has adopted a policy of isolationism, but at the same time, it has also struggled for inclusion in dominant society, perceiving itself as the true protector of the country's Jewish nature.
		As with the nineteenth century Reform Judaism movement in Germany, the result was mutual recriminations, rejection, and harsh verbal attacks.

		Originally the two factions were united under Agudat Yisrael, but the late mentor and supreme guide of the non-Hasidic group, Rabbi Elazar Shach decided to break away from the Hasidic wing when it was clear that the party was entirely controlled by Hasidic groups.
		He chose the name "Flag of Torah" as it would be a contrast to the well-known flag of the (Jewish republic in southwestern Asia at eastern end of Mediterranean; formerly part of Palestine) State of Israel that was a symbol of secularity (an "anti-Torah" symbol) in his opinion.

		Judaism not only makes such a claim, but our Torah-keeping parents have all heard of this claim from their parents, and so on back for as 1000’s of years.
		Judaism is not a cult, and does not require that you join Judaism by giving up your mind or even closing it to other options.
		If the Torah is to have any meaning as a code for all generations, there has to be a set of principles, of interpretations, a set of fundamentals and rules within which any authentic expression of Judaism must remain.

	torah
		In its widest sense, Jews use the word Torah to refer to any religious teachings perceived as being part of the oral law of rabbinic Judaism, which would include the former works, the responsa literature, the codes of Jewish law and the teachings of the rabbis.
		The Torah is the primary document of Judaism.
		Jews point to the text of the Torah, where many words are left undefined, and many procedures mentioned without explanation or instructions; the reader is assumed to be familiar with the details from other, oral, sources.

		Further, traditional Christianity holds that while the Torah's quotes from God should literally be understood as quotes from God Himself, the rest of the text is not a direct quote, but rather human words written by a prophet under divine inspiration.

		Unit 101 undertook a series of retaliatory raids against Palestinians and neighboring Arab states that helped bolster Israeli morale and fortify its deterrent image.
		However, the unit was also criticized for targeting civilians as well as Arab soldiers, resulting in the widely condemned Qibya massacre in the fall of 1953, in which more than sixty Jordanian civilians were killed in an attack on their village.
		Shortly afterwards, Unit 101 was merged into the 202nd Paratrooper Brigade (Sharon eventually becoming the latter's commander), which continued to attack military targets, culminating with the attack on Kalkiliya Police in autumn 1956.

	Torah Judaism and the State of Israel: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The attitude of Torah Judaism towards the State of Israel may be defined in three correlated areas: (a) in the area of Halacha-analysis, (b) in that of political analysis, and (c) in that of ideological analysis.
		Hence, it might be an exaggeration to claim that this work has been written with absolute and complete objectivity, merely as a sort of research essay on a subject far from the author's heart, as if it were, say, a thesis on Chinese literature.
		The intention is to present also -and perhaps primarily- to the 'non-religious' reader the views of Torah Judaism (or any other name by which one may designate Jews faithful to the Torah) and to make them understand even though they might not approve.

	"Who is Right and Who is Wrong?" - December 24, 2004 - Thinking Aloud - Rabbi Rafael G. Grossman
		United Torah Judaism, governed by its Moatzei Gedolei Torah, the Council of Torah Sages, has presumably already approved the withdrawal plans, thus enabling this party to become part of the Sharon-Labor coalition.
		Rav Shapiro’s ruling created a storm of anger, but with the even more pious Council of Torah Sages and the halachic Torah giant, Rabbi Yosef, approving their constituents’ participation in Sharon's government, Rav Shapiro’s edict is now meaningless.
		The NRP is now the only religious party in the opposition, but Sharon no longer needs the NRP because he has the approbation of the Council of Torah Sages and the leadership of Torah observant Sephardim.
