What are the major divisions of Judaism?

Answer 1

Orthodox, Conservative, Liberal, and Reform. However, the different sects of Judaism differ primarily in levels of observance of halacha and mitzvot, they're not splits in the sense of other religions.

Answer 2

Wrong question. In North America there are four groups generally regarded as Jewish denominations: Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform. It's different outside of North America. It's also somewhat controversial to even call the four groupings "denominations" but there is no other good word for the groupings, so the word has stuck.

Answer 3

It depends on which country you are talking about. For example:

In North America there are: Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist.

In the UK: Orthodox, Masorti, Reform, and Liberal.

In Ireland: Orthodox and Progressive.

In Israel, officially there is only Orthodox, but the other denominations are starting to get a foothold.

AnswerMany Jews don't really call them 'denominations', but there are several different interpretations, or groupings, of the practice of Judaism. Some of them are Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist. You can look online for the basic tenets and differences of each practice.

Answer 4

All Jews have the same Torah.Torah-observant Judaism dates back for a few thousand years. Originally it was simply called "Torah" or living by the Torah. Today it has the additional name of Orthodox Judaism.

Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah must be fully observed (Deuteronomy 13:5). They keep the laws of Judaism as codified in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law), which lists the laws of the Torah and Talmud. Torah-study is seen as very important (Deuteronomy 5:1); and the modern world is seen as subservient to the Torah (Talmud, Nedarim 32a), not the other way around.
Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) are recent. They adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree.
