What's the difference between Orthodox Jews and Modern Jews in Israel?
Q. If both parties follow the same Torah, why do Orthodox Jews believe Israel should not exist and Modern Jews differ? The Torah clearly states all Jews are in exile and are to live amongst all nations as citizens... Let me rephrase my question, where in the Torah does it say that Palestine ("Israel") belongs to the Jews and they have a right to it, because Orthodox Jews believe in Palestine, not Israel. The sects in NY refuse to live in Israel because of this but there are still many in Israel who believe the land should be returned to the Palestinians.

A. SOME Orthodox Jews believe they are not to re-enter the "Promised Land" (Palestine) until the Messiah comes. Still waiting... Others do not follow that. There are as many interpretations of Judaism as there are Jews.

A. It is not so much what do Orthodox Jews believe, so much as what Jewish Law states. Non-Jews who observe the six Noahide laws are worthy of the World to Come. Jews, on the other hand, must obey far more commandments. .

A. Generally speaking, only the Hasidic sects (certain ultra-orthodox groups of Jews) do this. It is not for textual/scriptural reasons, but rather out of tradition. From wikipedia: "The preference for black comes from a decree made by community rabbis in the 18th century stipulating that black outer garments be worn on the Sabbath and Jewish Holy Days out of the home, as opposed to the shiny, colorful kaftans that were worn prior to that time. The rabbis thought that brightly colored clothes might arouse resentment amongst non-Jews, which could lead to violence." This was because many Jews were seen as being rich, and thus poorer Christians living around them might attack out of resentment if they saw them wearing rich garments. Orthodox… [cont.]

Modern Orthodox generally does not have an issue. Birds and fish especially are easy to keep since you can easily look after them on Shabbos. Dogs and cats can be an issue- especially long haired dogs. How come? On Shabbos we do not even use a brush or comb which may pull hair out- a shedding dog of cat would come under this same ruling- with the additional problem that merely touching them could cause hair to come out when they are shedding!

Q. When you encounter moral, philosophical, or historical conundrums, where do you find the faith not to abandon your faith?

A. Having doubts is one of my biggest spurs to studying (and, Oy, to investing in new books etc even though I have run out of space to store them all LOL) As Shmuel says- generally you will not find a question that has not been raised by someone in the last few thousand years. The trick is finding the answer! Theres an apparent contradiction between books in the Tanakh? Look at the various commentaries and generally someone will comment on the differences and explain why the accounts differ. There appears to be a historical inconsistency?

Why do Israelis hate orthodox Jews and even kill them some times?
Q. I saw a youtube video of them dragging a odx jew and beating him and his family. I could understand if they did that to Arabs ( they deserve it) but not to their own people!

How are Orthodox Jews different than Hasidic Jews?
Q. basically what the questions is.. but meaning what belifs are different?
Asked by ash R. - Wed Oct 21 21:13:48 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Well, you have to keep in mind that "Orthodox Judaism" is a broad term. The Orthodox Shul that I associate with is a fairly liberal Orthodox, in that they follow the principles of Orthodoxy while having a rabbi that plays the guitar during services, dresses informally and maintains his own blog and twitter account. On the other side of the scale, you have the Chasidic, who dress all in black, shave their heads, isolate themselves from the rest of society and refuse to shake hands with women. In short, the only difference between a Hasidic Jew and a "Modern Orthodox" Jew is how strictly they follow the Law.

How often do Orthodox Jews go to synagogue?
Q. And do the men go more often than the women do?
Asked by Sophia - Sun Nov 16 18:37:58 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The men are required to pray as a group (of at least ten) every day, three times a day. Women usually attend synagogue services on Shabat morning and on holidays, as they are not obligated to do so.
