'''Orthodox Judaism''' are different movements adhering to common orthodox principles (strict interpretation and application of the [[law]]s and [[ethics]] of the Talmudic texts). They all share one key feature: a dedication to [[Torah]]. However, their attitudes toward modern culture and the state of [[Israel]] could differ. Orthodox Judaism is the most traditional branch of [[Judaism]].
Orthodoxy evolves to meet the demands of the times. An excellent summary of the core beliefs of Orthodox Judaism may be found in the Rambam's 13 Principles of Faith... One of the hallmarks of Orthodox [[Jews]] is an openness (and encouragement) to question what it is that Gd requires of us, and then to answer those questions within the system that Gd gave us. <ref> [http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/Orthodox.html Orthodox Judaism]</ref>
The Orthodox Union and the Rabbinical Council of America, are organizations that represent Modern Orthodox Judaism.
