Modern Orthodox Jews consider themselves bound by the 613 commandments in the Torah as understood by the unbroken rabbinical tradition from biblical times to the present. In this regard, they agree with Hassidic Jews. Modern Orthodoxy generally accepts the role of modern science and engages vigorously with the secular world. Where Hassidic Jews dress very distinctively and frequently minimize their contact with the secular community, modern Orthodox Jews are likely to blend into a crowd, with perhaps only a kippah (yarmulke) identifying them as Jews. Where Hassidic Jews view a yeshiva education as normal, Modern Orthodox Jews go to universities and graduate programs -- although significant numbers attend Yeshiva University, an Orthodox university.
