Orthodox Judaism – Wikipedia
Traditionalist branches of Judaism Orthodox Judaism is the collective term for the traditionalist branches of contemporary Judaism. Theologically, it is chiefly defined by regarding the Torah, both Written and Oral, as revealed by God to Moses on Mount Sinai and faithfully transmitted ever since. Orthodox Judaism therefore advocates a strict observance of Jewish law, or halakha, which is interpreted and determined exclusively according to traditional methods and in adherence to the continuum of received precedent through the ages.
