Orthodox Judaism

Orthodox Judaism

Orthodox Judaism is a form of Judaism that is very traditional, demanding strict observance of traditional Jewish laws. Such laws, for example, would include dietary laws which insist on kosher foods, prepared in a specific manner with the exclusion of certain foods considered unclean, such as pork and shellfish. Orthodox Jews also believe that both the Torah and Talmud are relevant laws given to them from Moses through God. The Torah and Talmud contain the laws of the Jewish people as revealed on Mount Sinai. [BM] {W2}
