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.
