Orthodox and Conservative Jews consider themselves to be bound to the "yoke of the mitzvot," that is, obedience to the 613 commandments in the Torah. They differ in the interpretation of these laws, but agree that they are binding. The Reform movement focuses on the moral imperative of the message of the prophets, placing that above law and ritual.
