Wikipedia notes that in the Eastern Orthodox Church, its Rite of Tonsure "is printed in the Euchologion (Church Slavonic: Trebnik), the same book as the other Sacred Mysteries and services." Browsing by liturgical language lets a visitor find every denomination that worships in the same tongue.FactsLearn MoreThe vernacularSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedThe movements of modern Judaism, which differ over the binding authority of halakhah, the place of critical scholarship and the accommodation of modern life, together with the older streams they grew out of. All are continuous with rabbinic Judaism and its texts. 2AttestationEra of AttestationWell-attestedDenominational division in Judaism is modern: the movements took shape in nineteenth-century central Europe in response to emancipation. The older streams grouped here, Karaite and Hasidic, are divisions of a different kind. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedDenominations 1Learn MoreThe movements of Judaism This group gathers the main movements of Judaism, particularly as they developed in the modern period in response to emancipation and modernity. Judaism is both a religion and a people, and its denominations differ mainly over the authority and interpretation of Jewish law (halakha). The browser will find Orthodox Judaism (including its Haredi and Modern Orthodox forms and the Hasidic movements), Conservative (Masorti) Judaism, Reform Judaism, and smaller and older streams. The atlas describes each movement's stance on law, tradition and change without privileging any as normative.The vernacularFilter Results4 entriesOrigin EraAll1810 (1)1845 (1)1922 (1)1963 (1)Establishment StatusAllNo Establishment (1)Parent ReligionAllJudaism (4)Originated InAllGermany (1)New York (2)Marriage PositionAllMarriage is held to be monogamous, with remarriage after divorce sanctioned under specified conditions (2)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex marriage is performed and LGBT clergy are ordained on equal terms with heterosexual clergy (3)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (1)PolityAllA federation of autonomous member organisations (1)Congregational: each congregation self-governing (2)Delegated representation from congregations up to a general conference (3)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (4)Ordination PracticeAllOpen to women and men (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 4Conservative JudaismThe vernacularHumanistic JudaismThe vernacularReconstructionist JudaismThe vernacularReform JudaismThe vernacularSources1.
