Conservative Judaism

n. stream of Judaism which believes in adherence to the Torah and Talmud but also in accommodating the halacha to the changing times

Conservative Judaism, (also known as Masorti Judaism in Israel predominantly), is a modern stream of Judaism that arose out of intellectual currents in Germany in the mid-19th century and took institutional form in the United States in the early 1900s. The principles of Conservative Judaism include:A "dedication to Halakha... [as a] guide for our lives"; A deliberately non-fundamentalist teaching of Jewish principles of faith;A positive attitude toward modern culture; and,An acceptance of both traditional rabbinic modes of study and modern scholarship and critical text study when considering Jewish religious texts.
