The three main
American branches of Judaism are Orthodox, Reformed, and Conservative. Orthodox Jews are by
the book; they follow the Torah directly as it
reads.
The Reformed branch is a
group of Jews adjusting with the changes in the world. They are
considered the liberal branch of Judaism. Conservative Jews are
considered middle ground between the two other main American
branches of Judaism.
There is another
branch of Judaism: Zionism. Orthodox Jews have opposed this branch
for a long time. These are the most common branches of Judaism in
America. Below are links to pages on this topic.
