Answer 2

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 as explained in the 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. Jewish laws are not seen as being irrelevant, inconvenient or outmoded.

Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) are recent. They adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree. For example, they might keep kosher only at home but not when eating out.

There is not much that separates Orthodox Jews and Jews apart. The only thing that is different is that they have different wedding traditions and some speaks different languages.

Answer 5

Orthodox Judaism resists innovation in the interpretation of halacha, traditional Jewish law, and considers halacha to be binding on all Jews. In practice, this is most visible in the role of women. Women and men sit separately in Orthodox services and women do not lead services when men are present. Orthodox Jewish interpretation of halacha considers the act of switching on or off an electric light (or any other electrical circuit) to be forbidden work on the Sabbath, so Orthodox Jews avoid using any electrical technology on the Sabbath, including computers and telephones. In contrast, all of the liberal branches of Judaism, the Conservative and Reform movements being the largest, allow mixed worship, ordain women as rabbis, and allow the use of electricity on the Sabbath.

Some people point out that Orthodox services are usually entirely conducted in Hebrew while liberal services use more English (or whatever the local language may be), but you can find Reform services conducted entirely in Hebrew, and Orthodox services can be conducted with extensive use of English, so while these generalizations about language are useful, they are not hard and fast rules.
