Traditional Judaism
Traditional Judaism
The terms “traditional” means that Jews should attempt to conserve Jewish tradition. Traditional Judaism teaches that the Torah and Talmud are of divine origin, and thus mandate following halakhah (Jewish law).
The Traditional movement also recognizes the human element in society and accepts modern scholarship that shows Jewish writings were completed under the influence of other cultures that can help enrich the Jewish community.
Therefore, Traditional Judaism believes in applying modern interpretation to the Torah and Talmud as long as the belief remains centered around the core values of Judaism. These seven core values are:
The importance of Israel
Hebrew: as the language of Jewish expression
Devotion to the ideals of the Jewish community
The Defining Role of Torah
The Study of Torah
The Governance of Jewish Life by Halakha (Jewish law)
And Belief in God
This doesn’t mean that Traditional Judaism demands all Jews settle in Israel or speak Hebrew. But maintaining the sense of Jewish Community and adhering to its laws as described in the Torah and Talmud is first and foremost the way to live a Jewish life.
