For the past 200 years, the big question dividing the Jewish world has been: "How do we deal with the changes in the modern world." The changes include emancipation of the Jews (Jews are now full citizens almost everywhere), separation of church and state, the rise of science, the end of legal discrimination, ease of travel, emancipation of women, and much much more. The Reform movement emerged early and embraced change, large numbers of Jews responded that they were changing too quickly, and came to be labeled as Orthodox. Conservative Judaism emerged next, trying to find a middle way. Withing Orthodoxy, Hassidic groups insisted the fewest changes, while the Modern Orthodox make no changes to Jewish law but happily accept the benefits of modernity.
