That depends upon which direction you're asking about. Orthodox Jews are most extreme in adhering to Jewish tradition, while such groups as Humanistic Jews, Reform Jews and Reconstructionist Jews are most extreme in non-observance of (some or many) Jewish traditions. Each may view the other "extreme" as being mistaken.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.
