translation of the Torah.

commands and prohibitions contained in the Torah. |

Jews consider themselves to be some of the few remaining supporters
of traditional values in our secular world. A little over 10% of
the American Jews belong to an Orthodox synagogue. |

| Most
Orthodox Jews live apart from modern civilization and some dress in
clothes that may be all black. Orthodox Jews believe that the
Torah is a representation of the word of God. They also
believe that the Torah means "Written Law" as well as "Oral
Law." They are open to the question "What does God require of
us?" |
