Does a conservative Jew differ from an orthodox Jew?
Conservative Judaism is considered to be a liberal branch of Judaism because the Conservative movement is egalitarian. Men and women sit together in most Conservative congregations, women are counted toward a minyan, since 1983, women have been ordained as Conservative rabbis, since 2006, gay and lesbian rabbis have been allowed, and since 2012, same-sex marriage. Orthodox Judaism allows none of these things.On the other hand, the Conservative movement has been very conservative with the liturgy. An outsider to Judaism will see few changes. They are there, but they are a word there, or a phrase there, not the kind of wholesale changes the Reform movement has made.
