Work to be done by November 13th

To me the Key points of Judaism are: That there is one God. Unlike the Christianity, Judaism believes the Messiah has not yet come to free them. The old testament and the laws are to be followed.

ORTHODOX

In Orthodox Judaism for example they are extremists. They believe that all the laws must be followed to the point. God is the almighty and there is no other God. They await the Messiah. Men sit with men and study the Torah. Women and children have their separate place. Hebrew is the language of the service.

CONSERVATIVE

In Conservative Judaism the beliefs are rooted just like the Orthodox but there is a bit more relaxed in the religious practice aspect. It is more concerned with the scientific study of the Bible. Hebrew and English are used in the service.

REFORM

Reform Judaism can be considered the modern day Judaism. They beliefs are still the same with one God and all but on services men and women may sit together without having their heads covered. Instead of synagogues their worship places are called Temples. Worship are usually on Friday evenings. English is the main language in the service.
