Jewish religious movements

Jewish religious movements sometimes called ""denominations"" or ""branches"", include different groups which have developed among Jews from ancient times. Today, the main division is along the lines of Orthodox-Reform-Conservative lines, with several smaller religious movements alongside them. This threefold denominational structure is mainly present in the United States, while in Israel the fault lines are between the religious Orthodox and the non-religious. The movements share common values such as monotheism, charity, and klal Yisrael (a sense of being part of, and responsible for, the universal Jewish community). These Jewish values are the basis for cooperation and interplay among the various movements. They also share a recognition that the Tanakh (in which the Torah or Law is included) and other Jewish spiritual writings such as Talmud are central to Jewish experience. However, they differ in their approach to such texts.The movements differ in their views on various religious issues. These issues include the level of observance, the methodology for interpreting and understanding Jewish Law, biblical authorship, textual criticism, and the nature or role of the messiah (or messianic age). Across these movements, there are marked differences in liturgy, especially in the language in which services are conducted, with the more traditional movements emphasizing Hebrew. The sharpest theological division occurs between Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews who adhere to other denominations, such that the non-Orthodox movements are sometimes referred to collectively as the ""liberal denominations"" or ""progressive streams.""
