interesting video. As a Jew I have to correct a few things. The video didn't always match the text tho. Most of those pictured in the "conservative" section were dressed more as Orthodox. Within the Orthodox are modern Orthodox and Haredi, which those you pictured were wearing streimels are Haredi. Haredi include both Hasidic and Mishnagidim from the Litvak (Lithuanian) stream. While there are also Mizrachi that are "orthodox" but non-European.
@@JackDSquat islam says that about everyone who doesnt follow islam. that unless you follow islam, you are a kaffir and cursed etc. religion of peace and tolerance eh?
Good video, but it is practically only about different Ashkenazi branches. Sephardic and Mizrahi Judaism or even more traditional Ethiopian Judaism called Haymanot have their differences from Ashkenazi movements and from each other. Also, although many Jews do not count them as part of Judaism, in my opinion Karaites and Samaritans should be mentioned here too. From Ashkenazi branches I would like to mention Liberal Judaism, which is the most progressive, but mostly exist in the UK.
Karaites have been recognised by all leading rabbis in israel as complete jews. And if you ask me, they are the true jews, sticking to God's law in the bible instead of the Talmud, which is a false rabbinical law that has actually taken Jews away from their true law and tradition.
Sephardic, Yemenite, Mizrahi, Ashkenazi, etc. Are just ethnic/cultural Jewish identities. They still practice any of the movements. There are Sephardic Jews (same with the others) who are everything from secular to Orthodox. The food and languages and traditions differ slightly. But all follow the same worship service routine and use Hebrew in shul.
Karaite Judaism and Samaritans Judaism and Ethiopian Judaism are no rabbinic Judaism. Reform UK is more close to Conservative Massorti Judaism. Liberal Judaism in the UK is the same as Refom Judaism in the US.
@@issacshlomo171 I know that these tree branches of Judaism aren't rabbinic, but this is why I said that this video is only about Ashkenazi (Sephardic and Mizrahi is less different because they are rabbinic, so beside some cultural differences there aren't in beliefs, what exist between Ashkenazi and not rabbinic Judaism branches). From what I know Liberal Judaism in the UK is more progressive and open to converts or critical to Israel politics and actions, than Reform Judaism in the US, but I can be mistaken.
@@elizabethelias1005You’re right they are along cultural lines, but sefardim and mizrachim are far more tolerant of various religious observance. It isn’t separated into branches. These branches are more found in the west than in total Jewry
I would like to convert to Chabad Judaism. I like Judaism since my teen age. I had read Hindu, Sikh, Muslims, Christian and Jewish( Talmud ) holy books. At last I came to conclusion that Hasidic Judaism is best for me.🙂
@@christo-chaney the closest Chabad Synagogue is 80 km far from my hometown, it is situated in Delhi, I will go there. But, I want to convert to Ultra Orthodox Judaism as it's conversion is valid by all branches of Judaism and I will like to strictly follow all commandments as It would bring me closer to Hashem. Thanks Sir, for your information.
There are secular Jews. Judaism is not just a religion it's also a culture. Their parents may have been practicing Jews and the off spring decided not to follow but are still tied to the traditions.

No actually. As a Chabad Lubavitch person myself. I can assure you, only ppl in Spanish speaking countries pronoun it with a J sound. The CH is not J. The only letter that matches the sound is the letter Chet in Hebrew which is ח
It looks like you are not familiar with the Spanish pronunciation of the letter J. It's like the letter כ (no dagesh) pronounced by the Mizrahim. Also, among many other inaccuracies, (Taf/Tet, Caf/Qof, Alef/A'ayin), modern Hebrew doesn't make a difference between the pronunciation of the two letters כ and ח

Loved your style and the clarity as well as brevity of the presentation. I won’t mention the detail about how the word Chabad חב״ד is actually pronounce since several people had covered this topic. What I did want to tell you is that when you got to Humanistic Judaism my heart skipped a beat. Your description is exactly the way I celebrated my Jewishness for decades. It had no name for it, but I knew that this is what spoke to me. I am glad it now has a name in my heart and in my mind. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Dita T Palmetto Bay FL
That is interesting. I didnt know there were so many Jewish branches and some not so strict. I also am fascinated with Jewish culture. The music, the rituals etc., its very rich in culture and colourful.
Wow dude. Seriously, well done. I'm really impressed. I used to be a modern orthodox practicing Jew and "upgraded" about 5 years ago to a Chabad chassid. I have to say that your presentation was clear and well researched. And even after 44 years, I actually learned a lot from your video. Very well done.
I believe, though I might be wrong, just studying this. That there are regional differences in Judaism. And two of the more common are Sephardic (Spain, Middle eastern, etc) and Ashkenazi (Jewish diaspora in Europe). The differences seem to be cultural--for instance there are different practices for Passover as to what foods to avoid.
Kara’ites and Samaritans are considered separate from Judaism. They follow the same Torah as Jews, but have very divergent beliefs. Sefaradim, however, do deserve mention. Literally, it refers to Jews of Iberian (Spanish/Portuguese) origin. After the Inquisition (c 1492), they spread to North Africa, Turkey, Netherlands, France, Syria, Palestine, and the New World. People often conflate them with Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews. Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria, Kurdistan, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Yemen, et al. Mizrahi and Sefaradi have more in common with each other than either one has with Ashkenazim.
These groups you have mentioned are interesting. It would also be interesting to have discussion of Jews from different parts of the world; such as Persian, Yemeni, Ethiopian, Algerian, Moroccan, South or Latin American and so on and so forth.
I'm not Jewish myself but i am intrigued especially with the history of the Persian Jews which I believe is one of the oldest diaspora if not The Oldest.

Hi! I'm Jewish and you did a great job! One point I'd like to highlight is that even though there are different Jewish sects, we all consider ourselves AND each other to be authentically Jewish -- even Jews who don't believe in G-d. This is quite different from many Christian groups who don't think other Christian denominations are "real Christians". Moreover, Jews can and do move in and out of these different sects and synagogues in a fluid way that's also different from our Christian cousins. For example, although I'm a member of a Reform Synagogue, I often attend services at an Orthodox temple. We (Jews) have many more similarities than differences; neither the practices we share, nor the traditions we express differently, make any Jew more or less Jewish to G-d or eachother. Pretty cool, I think. Shalom!
I would argue you wrong. Most Christians' believe others are "real Christians'". I have never met anyone to say otherwise. Also you can attend church anywhere you want. Maybe you are thinking of Catholics since they don't allow other to take communion? But using the words "most" and "many" are wrong.
@@michaeleldridge5640 I appreciate your feedback. Here's where that thought came from: I converted to Judaism after growing up in a Southern Baptist church (the largest Protestant denomination in the US). It was regularly taught to us that Catholicism as well as any other denomination of Christian church (Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Mennonite, Quaker, etc.) was a "false church" and that people who worshiped in them weren't "saved" and needed evangelical outreach. Sounds like you had a different experience.
I have met many Christians who claim that Catholics are "not real Christians", I have met Christians who believe Mormons aren't real Christians. There is much in fighting between Christian sects that doesn't exist to nearly the same extent in Judaism.
@@michaeleldridge5640 Heterodox cannot participate in the Orthodox Church services. They can stand in the back of a church, in silence but they cannot participate.
@@HippieVeganJewslim For example, during the segment about Conservative Judaism, he shows a picture of Chasidic study session. Conservatives don't do the black hat/garb.
Individual practices do not always align with the theological tenets of a particular movement. In other words, the Reform and Reconstruction movements have articulated theological approaches that include belief and connection to God. There are definitions to the theological values of each movement within Judaism. An individual Jew can choose to affiliate with a Synagogue community for a number of personal reasons while also reaching other opinions about whether God exists, but those beliefs may not be totally in step with the “official” beliefs of the Movement.
@@chanaheidtman3381 lol "yeah lets adhere to these laws and pretend God had nothing to do with it, instead we came up with it." 1st law: To know there is a God. 2nd law: to have no other gods... Yeah sounds very concise and logical, not contradictory at all to orthodoxy👍
I very much enjoyed this video. Thank You so very much!!!!!! I knew of the Reform, Conservative & Orthodox branches, and I had heard of Hassidic & Reconstructionist forms, but I appreciate the greater depth in which this video went into. Be Blessed, Brother Mark Prance
I consider myself a Humanistic Jew. I was raised in a Christian household by my mother's family (very far back) was Jewish. I grew up hearing stories of the Holocaust, seeing my grandmother who seemed a bit conflicted as to whether she was Christian or Jew, and eating some of the foods. I have always considered that I am sort of Jewish. I found out about this branch not that long ago. But before then I started celebrating some major holidays, reading, etc. I don't claim to know that much, though. The thing that drew me to this is that I am a non-theist (agnostic or whatever). I have found that people in this movement have lots of different stories. And actually though maybe they won't admit it, agnosticism and atheism are kind of common among Jews.
You may be a Halachic Jew; that is, recognized as Jewish by Jewish law as determined by the maternal line, or regardless of what religion or no religion you practice.
Literally, I was having a convo with my husband this evening about the different branches of Judaism. Your video, which is excellent btw, appeared as a suggestion 🤔👂 I’m from metro Detroit - Rabbi Sherwin Wine married me in 1993 - my first marriage. I was unaffiliated with a synagogue at the time. My ex was bar mitzvah’ed by him (the shul is a mile from me). I had no idea Rabbi Wine created the movement of Humanistic Judaism. Wow! I’m gobsmacked. Sadly, he was killed during a vacation to Morocco many years ago. Lovely man. If interested, I have video of him. Thank you 🙏🏻
I can't recall the name of the youtube channel but there are videos of his. If you search for Humanistic Judaism there are some great educational videos and he certainly has some. Sad to hear how he died--seems very tragic.
Thank you! FYI, the "ch" in Chabad (5:03) is not pronounced like the "ch" in child. The sound comes from the back of the throat. The Hebrew letter that the "ch" is meant to transliterate is actually the same letter that starts the word Hasid.
@leaaugusta9924 I think I've heard it pronounced that way, although the online dictionaries pronounce it Judy-ism (reminds me of the late comedienne Judy Tenuta, l'havdil). But Judaica is pronounced with the long "a" sound, so why not Judaism too.
i have a video suggestion that you'd might consider: misconceptions about God, people like atheists always refer to God as "a bearded man in the sky" or "magic sky daddy", or that's how artists and media depict God to be. But that's not how judaism, christianity, or islam conceive of God to be
I thought that was a pretty fair characterization. I’m a practicing Jew, and I hadn’t heard of all your groups (renewal?). I noticed that you used the same footage for conservative and Orthodox - and your images of hasidic and yeshivish were mixed up. One or two pronunciation issues… but overall you did quite a good job!
I grew up Reform, experimented with Humanistic and Reconstructionist Judaism, and eventually progressed from Conservative to somewhere between Modern Orthodox and Chabad, and went to Yeshiva. Basically I’ve spanned the entire spectrum. Thanks for covering it so well.
Thank you for your interest in our culture and for the video. Within the so-called "ultra-Orthodox" community, we refer to ourselves as merely Orthodox and/or Hassidic. The reason behind this is that this group of Jews feels that they are merely being Orthodox in keeping Torah. The "ultra" label does not come from within this group. Blessings to you, and may we draw closer to appreciating all of humanity.
Very good point. Thank you! We just feel we are being observant and are trying to make our observances beautiful to Hashem. We follow all of Torah instead of partial Torah, and they call it “extreme.” Perhaps, instead, they should call it “complete.” We try to dress nice and respectably in the presence of Hashem which is all the time since, as Torah says, does Hashem not fill the earth? See, there is no issue. Non-Jews read: “Path of the Righteous Gentile,” by Clorfene and Rogalsky. Blessings!
There's a fairly new channel called Redeemed Zoomer...the guy who runs it is a stout Presbyterian but is fairly tolerant of other kinds of Christians, despite his doctrinal stance. He put out a video called something like "Every Kind of Christianity in 3 Minutes". It's fast but pretty accurate overall, judging from the more sober-minded comments in the thread.
Tens of thousands! I prefer to just identify as a Believer. Most self-described Christian denominations are trinitarian, but God is echad (one). Not three. Even Jesus said this. Jesus was a man, a servant, whose God was Yahweh. Thank the nascent roman “church” for the trinitarian heresy. 👍 We don’t all believe such nonsense. Jewish followers of Jesus were accepted in the first century temple. Well. Before 70 AD of course, the 9th of Av.
@@joelslack2138blaming the “ Roman Church” for any idea they don’t like is a popular habit for some groups. But it’s historically inaccurate. In the early church, Rome was just one of several centers of Christianity in the Empire. The others were places like Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem ,etc. They all played a role in the formation of doctrine. The Bishop of Rome ( the Pope) didn’t even attend some of the councils. The Alexandrians we’re particularly active. So guess you should blame the “ African Church” for a lot of whatever you have your knickers in a knot about.
@@c.m.cordero1772 The Roman church wasn’t just “Rome.” The “Latin” contingent was tight with Alexandria, and eventually Rome pushed out the other centers of Christian thought by the same tactics they used to solidify and centralize their power for a thousand years.

They’ll answer to the Holy One for the unmitigated evils they’ve committed in his name, one day. It’s coming.
Dude - you’ve got a lot of knowledge, and I commend you for your interest and your learning. But you just lost me when you pronounced the “Ch” in “Chabad” as the “ch” in “chair” or “cherry.” You gotta try, at least, to get the guttural sound of Chanukah.

Good introduction to the various streams (not sects or denominations) of Judaism. A couple of additional points. One is that the term "ultra-orthodox" is considered by some Jews, especially orthodox Jews, as pejorative. Another point is that some Jews do not regard themselves as members of any stream, while others do not believe in dividing Jews into streams of Judaism. Finally, there are a few more streams of Judaism such as Karaite Judaism, in which Jews believe only in following the Written Law (Torah) but not the Oral Law (Talmud), and Nazarene Jews, who believe that Jesus was the Messiah but not Gd.
So interesting the two streams you mentioned are even closer to Islam. You mean to tell me there is a stream of Judaism that accepts Jesus as a Prophet?
@@EdTravelingEast No, Nazarene Jews are not Messianic Jews, who themselves consist of different types. However, most Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is both the Messiah and Gd, whereas Nazarene Jews believe that Jesus is the Messiah but not Gd. There are other differences as well.
You are so respectful a presenter! You show a genuine interest in Judaism and in education, for self and others. That makes you a very special person. You make your parents proud! My maternal grandmother’s family was slaughtered in WWII. 💔 But, she grew up in Poland and had Hasidism in her background. I lean towards humanist and my kids are reformed. However, boots on the ground, we don’t distinguish tho the distinctions are there we’re just all Jewish. Enjoyed this!
Thanks for this effort and for your research. Your surprise would have been less big had you realized that Judaism is not just a religion, that it is most importantly a peoplehood, that as a member of this nation you are a Jew no matter what your specific beliefs are. (Yes, you can indeed be an atheist and a Jew.) It is The People of Israel (not limited to today’s State of Israel). [Israel = יִשְׂרָאֵל Yīsrāʾēl = “Struggled with G-d”] Judaism not only permits divergence of opinions, it actually mandates self-study, group-study and constant exchange of interpretations and opinions, a constant struggle in the pursuit of understanding the divine and leading a sacred life, of making the world a better place. In essence, Judaism can not be fairly compared with Islam and Christianity, these being purely religions, i.e. belief systems (with emphasis on “belief”) without national or ethnic basis.
To the best of my knowledge, all branches of Judaism have to come to terms with atheism. This is simply because being a Jew is related to who your mother is, not what you think or believe.
Not necessarily from the mother, but this position varies from sect to sect, and even as that goes most rabbis will disagree with each other and decide on a case-by-case basis if asked. At any rate, this is mainly a controversy among the Ashkenazim as nearly all other Jewish groups still use an old world view about the household and community to decide such matters in practice. In other words, only the Ashkenazim think of it in racial terms.

It was crucial to the Rebbe that non-Jews be made aware of Hashem’s requirements that He gave at Creation which bring great blessing. These seven requirements are beautifully detailed in the book, “Path of the Righteous Gentile.” These are very special Laws, and are separate from Jewish Laws. Each of these two paths are beautiful to Hashem.

This was both very comprehensive and succinct. Thank you! I'm a Humanistic Jew. Did you know that roughly 40% of all Israeli citizens identify as secular? You seemed a little unsure about nontheistic Judaism so I just wanted to clarify, it is Jewish culture separate from religion. i.e. language, holidays, food, history, music, etc. Think of it like any other minority community that you can be a part of without religion.

A nice job of presenting diffrent kinds of judaism, but there are few incorrections. First of all some of the branches are not an official form of judaism, they are more of some subsidiary movements. You basically could divide the jewish world into three- orthodox (haredi), traditional (maosrati) and reforms and maybe conservatives (masorties jews are diffrent from the definition you brought) . Most of the groups you mentioned are branches of those main groups. Besides, there are some groups in this video which are only (or mainly) exist in the USA, there are more of branches around the world.
Humanistic Judaism is basically Non Theistic branch of Judaism. It's based on Humanistic Philosophy and it's human centered Philosophy. It see Judaism as culture and fate of Jewish People.
The research for the verbal content for this video is really pretty good for someone outside the Jewish communities. Where the video is a bit lacking is in the coordination between the images and the groups that are being discussed. A large number of these images do not match the group that is being talked about at that moment. So not bad overall but this mismatch does give incorrect info so… room for improvement.

The Christians claim Jesus had to die 4 our sins, because we humans are too sinful The Christians have no reply to the following 3 Questions ➜ Why did God Forgive humans without the need of human sacrifice in the past according to the bible ❓❓❓❓❓ ➜ What Did the Christians gain from the so called sacrifice from Jesus if they still must repent ❓❓❓❓❓ ➜ If Jesus really willingly Died for our sins, why was he begging God to save him from getting killed ❓❓❓❓❓ Jesus cried 0ut in a Loud voice, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

A Christian Replies: 1. He didn’t. God promised the coming of Jesus and His death for mankind, as the promised “seed” or offspring of the woman, at the time of Adam and Eve’s sin. See Genesis 3:15. That promise, like God’s Word in Genesis 1, is creative, thus making the event that He prophesied reality. He then ordained a system of animal sacrifices intended to illustrate and typify Christ’s coming sacrifice, also illustrating the forgiveness that comes through it, by clothing Adam and Eve with coats made of the skins of the sacrificed animal(s). See Gen. 3:21. All the forgiveness for sin, through all time, which has ever come to mankind has come through Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross, which death was already a reality in the mind of God from before the foundation of the world. Rev. 13:8; Acts 15:18. For, “on the seventh-day God rested from all of His works”. Gen. 2:3. 2. It is not what Christians “gain”. The whole world has gained for Jesus is the “Saviour of All Men”. We all had gone astray like sheep, and the “Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all”. Isaiah 53:6 No exceptions. Our sinning is the multiplication of Adam and Eve’s sin, because it was by one singular man(Adam), that sin entered the world. Therefore, one man(Jesus)-if not initially involved in that sin (so Christ came from outside the human race to join it in incarnation), could represent the world and die for its sin “in Adam”. All men live because Jesus died in their place. What Christian’s gain is what any man can gain from “believing” in God’s “gift” of life and unmerited favor (grace); they gain the gift of “faith” and “repentance” itself, for the heart no longer doubts God’s love or need stand in continual terror of His justice, but is reconciled to “love the Lord our God” with all our heart and soul and might, being motivated to honor, worship and serve Him, in obedience to His perfect Law. Deut. 6:5; Psalm 19:7; James 1:25. 3. Matt. 27 is the recognition of the rejection Jesus felt because He was being identified with sin in our behalf; sin, which God, of course, hates. When Jesus prayed for deliverance from the cup, He prayed for that only “if” it was the Father’s will. Matt. 26:39. It was not the Father’s will, so Jesus went on to give up His life, obeying the Father. So Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Gen. 3 among many others, and was obedient to death, for it had “pleased the Lord” to “crush him” and make His soul “an offering for sin”, so that you would be saved. Isaiah 53:10. Thus you as part of the whole human race were saved from what would have been certain eternal death by Jesus dying in your place. John 6:33. Now, the question for you and for every man is will you “believe our report” and truly appreciate from your heart what God has done for you, letting the goodness of God lead you to turn away from rebelling against God. Isaiah 53:1; Romans 2:4. Jesus is the light of the world. Anyone who truly believes in Jesus as the Light loves and obeys God and will be saved unto certain eternal life. “We love Him, because He first loved us”. 1 John 4:19 “He that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” 1 John 2:17.
As someone commented earlier, the information is good but some of the visuals don't match the groups talked about. For instance, Chassidic Jewish groups can be identified by the black caftans and distinctive hats, which by their style can tell you which Chassidic group they belong to. This type of attire was modeled after 18th century Polish fashion, which was when the Bal-Shem Tov founded the sect. The Orthodox do keep their heads covered but out in public but they will wear clothing that conforms with what is traditional in the societies they live in.
Your images for conservative Judaism look more like orthodox jews (you use the same image when discussing haredi). Your images for orthodox Judaism are of hasidic jews (the "ultra orthodox") rather than modern orthodox. Except for your image of the family in front of the candles. If that was an orthodox family the man would have a beard and be wearing a kippa (yalmuke) on his head; the woman would have her head covered with a veil. Humanistic Judaism and reconstructionist are similar in that BOTH reject the more spiritual/theological aspects of Judaism and observe Judaism more culturally. One other "branch" to discuss here might be secular Judaism. Though this is basically just non-practicing jews, so not really a formal "branch", but just a significant number of jews today (especially in the USA).
There is one branch more worth to mention. That branch has nothing to do with Judaism, a product of the rabbinical thought at the Academy in Yavne around year 90 AD. That branch originates directly from mosaism and is messianic by nature. Yet, it has nothing to do with trinitarian Christianity. Jews have continued to join that movement over the past centuries because its main message was unlimited, unconditional love; a mystical category that cannot be described easily during the talmudic discussions
Nice video, but very American-centric. Most Jews today live in Israel and almost all of the groups you mentioned hardly exist there. In Israel the vast majority of Jews are "Traditional" and un-affiliated without any specific Synagogue or group membership. There are Haredi (Hassidic and Non-Hassidic), along with Modern Orthodox that keep strict Jewish observance, but most everyone else sees Judaism as a (tribal) nationality - not strictly a religious commitment. Strangely, you left off the whole story of Black Jews (another America-only story).
The images are VERY inaccurate, especially during the section of Orthodox Judaism (Hasidism when talking about modern orthodox, etc). And there are definitely some who would object to classifying any sect that rejects the reality of G-d or divinity of His laws as a “branch” of Judaism. A religion based solely on culture is just a…culture.
Hahaha- ch-abad! Also, as a conservative Jew, you were using images of a smattering of Orthodox sects. Conservative Judaism is more like a gradient, with various synagogues being closer to reform and others closer to modern Orthodox (many people at mine identified as modern Orthodox, for instance). We have a common liturgy, prayer books, and seminaries in the US, but aside from that Judaism tends to be very, very decentralized outside of the various Orthodox sects
I am excessively impressed... You're a great educator... My great-grandfather was a rabbi and ironically I was raised in an orthodox tradition in Passaic Park New Jersey but my dad who had such a love for all people and always taught me that every religion you can find God and loved and so we became conservative LOL cuz there's nothing else to do I have a severe learning disability because I am paranoid schizophrenic I made 68 the reason I said LOL as I used to do a lot of stand-up comedy in institutions of isolation and forgotten people I used to tell the joke but it was really my learning disability that my parents they sent me to yeshiva and I was taught to read and write from right to left and then they sent me the public school in between all that so that I had to learn to read and write from left to right so I tell them I'm dyslexic by religion but ultimately the only way I was ever able to learn was my dad who work 12 to 14 hours a day and still found time to 2 to tutor me on a daily basis The reason I bring this up is I learned a few things that I really didn't know and I think you should take a bow for that because as much as everybody seems to hate social media blah blah blah it is such a blessing to live on RUclips a third of my life and learned so much and you did a great job thank you very much Avi
Great video! It’s very nice to see your very nice research - usually people get a lot of things wrong, but not you. Kudos! Of course, there’s space for some adjustments here and there. I’m not gonna talk about everyone of them, tho. When talking about conservative Judaism you mainly show images of Orthodox Jews. Also, despite the name “conservative”, this stream is also progressive, egalitarian and pluralistic. Together with Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism, conservative Judaism also ordinates openly gay men and women as rabbis.
This is a really good introduction to the different aspects of Judaism from a religious perspective. I would say that you missed at least one group that is very important: the Karaite Jews. It might also be worth mentioning the closely related Samaritans, which have very similar religious roots to the Jews. I guess there would technically also be Messianic Jews, although most other Jews would probably reject this group as Jewish.
Messianic Jews mostly aren't Jewish. They are typically Christians that want to get back to the Jewish roots of Jesus. They find a messianic church, join, and then call themselves completed Jews. The denomination was created in order to convert Jews. They are basically Evangelical Christians. They just make their churches look like synagogues because they want Jews to feel comfortable. It's a total scam.
About humanistic Judaism, it’s kind of funny when people see this as a surprising thing. I think that’s because people insist to see Judaism strictly as a religion, rather than a people. But we are, in fact, a people. Our religion is part of our civilization’s culture, it permeates various aspects of life, but we’re a people after all. Most of jews in the world are not religious or spiritual and even don’t observe any aspect of Jewish religion. Since ancient times Judaism approaches the issue of Jews who don’t believe in God and it isn’t really something new among the Jews. That said, there are those who don’t believe in God but want to keep traditions, because they’re our traditions after all; there are also religious observants who are atheists; there are spiritual Jews, which believe in God, but don’t seek for connection with God through Jewish practices. Most of Jews in Israel, for example, are secular Jews, in general non believers and non practicing. I’m sure in the U.S. is also like this, but when a Jew is not a practicing one, we can’t actually figure out that he or she is a Jewish person, again because of the fact that people want to see Judaism strictly as a religion, which is not :-)

What???? I am Jewish from Israel and it's looks so different from here: We have and respect the Karaites ancient group,and the ethiopian ancient group and the Yemmenic and the Spharadic going according to Maran Karo. We also have Ashkenazi going according to the Ramo rules which are divided to Hasidic and Mithnagdim which are both very strict and against modern global influences. And we also have the modern Zionist movment that try to unite the groups together and addopt the good things from the modern global influences. And we have secular and traditional people. We also know that far away in America there are millions of secular people that their ancestors were Jews who decided to stay in exile next to the pots of meat and compensate their self guilt by creating temporary spiritual philosophies such as reforms-conservative-reconstucters humanitirian that their aim is to slow the speed of assimilation.
As you mentioned in the video, Judaism is really the religion of the Jewish people, which is to follow the biblical law. so any movement within the Jewish people that doesn't follow those laws I don't think should be called a branch of Judaism rather a Jewish movement or something like that.
Exactly. There’s are a lot of spin-offs of Judaism that don’t follow the biblical law as understood and interpreted for thousands of years - karaites, samaritans, reform, conservative. These aren’t Judaism. These are their own religion that tries to take elements of Judaism and then add their own beliefs on top of that.
@@uria702 Right, I was also thinking same, But I think reform or conservative are less religious observant group than orthodox judaism, so it is order from more religious to less religious observant.🙂 The less Religious observance goes like: Ultra Orthodox Judaism>Orthodox Judaism>Modern Orthodox Judaism>Conservative Judaism>Reform Judaism.🤠
@@Rahul-Cohen28 reform is not Judaism and neither is conservative. Their beliefs are against the Torah - they don’t keep the Shabbat. They accept gays and even perform gay marriages in the synagogue. A “reformation” is not the same religion. Most reform aren’t even Jewish according to the Torah which requires your mother be Jewish. Most reform are mixed. You can call them whatever you want, but they are not considered Jewish by all orthodoxy and by the Torah itself.
@@uria702 As I initially suspected, your opinion about the Qaraite Jews is informed by the usual Rabbinic Orthodox narrowmindedness. If you considerably broadened your horizons and set your bias aside just long enough to acquire reasonable knowledge about Qaraite Judaism, you wouldn't be writing nonsense about it.
Wrong, jews are all part of one people, no matter what their beliefs are. I am 100% jewish, yet I do not keep Shabbat or Kosher. Secular jews are just as jewish as orthodox ones, only make other choices in their lives. Btw, I am a member of an orthodox synagogue, and keep traditions that I find meaningful.
Great Video and yes there were some I did not know of. There is one you left out that should be included and that is Lapid Judaism. Thank you for this video.❤
Reform, conservative and their offshoots and sub groups, are religions created by Jews, with many Jewish adherents, however they are not Judaism.. They are separate Jewish religions based on Judaism… What is called ‘Orthodox’ (a term invented by the reformation that occurred among Ashkenazim) is simply Judaism, and there are branches of it…
Is this only American and European phenomenon? Because traditionally, the Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews have no such thing as reform nor conservative neither orthodox. It is just being Jewish and they follow the mainstream Judaism. Whether they are secular or religious, they still cling to their community when it comes to marriage, divorce, dietary laws and holidays. I think the same way can be applied to those in Israel. I’ve Israeli friends who are secular and irreligious but they still associate with their community and it is just Judaism. No reform or progressive or liberal Judaism whatsoever.
@@EAlyahya I think it is mostly a American and European phenomenon, at least initially, unfortunately it has spread. However I completely agree about Sephardi, Mizrahi etc..
@@AryehShmuel yeah it seems they even have communities in Israel and other parts of the world. However in the UK and Commonwealth countries, I think the majority of Ashkenazi Jews consider themselves belong to the United Synagogue under the Chief Rabbi of the UK and the Commonwealth. They aren’t Haredim/ultra orthodox, just simply Judaism and under American definition, it would be labelled as centrist orthodoxy. Their affiliation to the community isn’t based on religious interpretation or reformation. Simply just being Jewish whether they observe the Halachah or not. I think that is the Ashkenazi version of what Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews really are.
Reform, Conservative, & Reconstructing Judaism are all Judaism. They’re not separate religions. We use the same texts as orthodox but understand & apply them differently.
@@christo-chaney using the same texts but applying them differently means they are based on Judaism, but they are not Judaism, what they are doing is heretical at best, however many reformists and reconstructionists are not even Jewish today, even though their religions were started by Jews.. So they can’t be heretics unless they were Jewish and knowledgeable enough to qualify. Orthodox is a term invented by reformism to define people continuing to practice Judaism… there really isn’t ‘orthodox’ Judaism, what is called ‘orthodox’ is simply Judaism… It’s not a religion, it’s a national legal system… Those that claim to have the authority to reinterpret it according to their own understanding, not only violate the system, they eventually attach to the values, principles, culture and laws of foreign nations. Xtianity was an early reform movement as well, they also used the same texts, understanding and were applying them differently.
Yeah but I think it rightly identifies so many liberal Jewish agnostic/atheists who may not be a card caring member - but could make up a plurality of the American Jewish population if they were.
It's important to include the Karaites, which originated millenia before the splits identified here. Karaites are a great example that not all sects stem from the rabbinic tradition.
A few other, much smaller movements which are truer separate branches of Judaism (the major movements in this video all stemming from normative rabbinic Judaism) the same way that Sunni, Shia, Ibadi, etc. are separate branches of Islam: Ethiopian (disappeared with the migration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel), Karaite, Samaritan.
"Humanistic" Judaism can also be explained by the fact that we Jews aren't only a religion. We are a people. So there can even be atheist "Jews". This included some of the founders of modern Israel, who were non-observant Jews such as Ben Gurion. Also, some of the categories you list - one can be more than one. For instance - Chabad is both Hasidic (Haredi) and Orthodox. Different Hasidic groups can often be differentiated (at least the men) by different types of hats. For instance, Satmar and Lubavitch, and Belz Hasidim all wear different types of hats. Different Hasidic groups are often named for the place their ancestors lived in Eastern Europe. For instance, Belz was in Galacia (Poland), Lubavitch was a town in Russia, and the Satmar were in Satu-Mar in Hungary. Also, Lubavich had a rebbe, but he had no children, so there is no new rebbe at the present time, nor is there a plan for any successor. (I attended his leviah (funeral) in Crown Heights).
I like the parallels to Christian sects, in that Hasid means Pietist and Hared's meaning can be taken as equivalent to Quaker or Shaker. Also, Misnagdim kind of means Protestants.
One thing not mentioned in the video is the sects views on what texts are considered to be from G-d. All of the Orthodox sects, Chabad, Haredi etc. Believe in two Torahs given to Moses at Sinai. The written Torah, where all the 613 laws are given. And the oral law (later written down in the Talmud) where all the 613 laws are explained. These are considered both binding documents between G-d and Jews . The conservatives believe the written Torah to have been given to Moses. But the Talmud to be a human invention (but many view it as a historical work of philosophy worthy of at least some understanding). The rest have radically different views and often view neither the written or oral Torahs to be binding on them at all. They do what they feel/believe to be right regardless of how it lines up with the written word.
I appreciate your passion for Judaism. Just a note of correction, however. Some chasidic groups do not have an hereditary Rebbe. For example, Breslov. Also, many Reconstructionist Jews are non theistic. That is, following, Kaplan, God is a concept based on the desire for good.
It's not so much 10 branches of Judaism as it is sub-branches and sub-sub-branches, especially within the Orthodox branch. Thus, there are Humanistic, Renewal, Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative (all of which have evolved from within Ashkenazic Jewry only), and Orthodox. The main sub-branches in Orthodox are Modern/Centrist and Haredi. Haredi, in turn, is divided into the sub-sub-branches of Yeshivish/Litvish and Hasidic. Thus, six branches of Judaism, two sub-branches of Orthodoxy, and two sub-sub-branches of Haredi Orthodoxy.
I'm not trying to be mean but are you just regurgitating What was said on the useful charts channel 3 days ago? Because basically everything he said you're saying and it's funny how your video came out after his video
As far as Orthodox Judaism is concerned, you did get it a little mixed up. Most of the religious Jews are identified by their clothes as to where they belong. One look says almost everything about them.
Nah, I've seen Hassidic jews who are against Israel as well and ones who are are pro Israel. They can be very different even though they look the same and even belong to the same denomination.
1. Reform 2. Conservative 3. Orthodox 4. Sefaradi 5. Ashkenazi 6. Hassidic 7. Chabad 8. Yeshivish 9. Modern Orthodox These groups run along different dimensions, and overlap.
interesting video. As a Jew I have to correct a few things. The video didn't always match the text tho. Most of those pictured in the "conservative" section were dressed more as Orthodox. Within the Orthodox are modern Orthodox and Haredi, which those you pictured were wearing streimels are Haredi. Haredi include both Hasidic and Mishnagidim from the Litvak (Lithuanian) stream. While there are also Mizrachi that are "orthodox" but non-European.
It looked like Rabbi Sacks at 5:33, too- a Messianic believer in Yeshua (Christ) as Messiah.
He shows haredi by hasidic category, and hasidic by haredi.

Good video, but it is practically only about different Ashkenazi branches. Sephardic and Mizrahi Judaism or even more traditional Ethiopian Judaism called Haymanot have their differences from Ashkenazi movements and from each other. Also, although many Jews do not count them as part of Judaism, in my opinion Karaites and Samaritans should be mentioned here too. From Ashkenazi branches I would like to mention Liberal Judaism, which is the most progressive, but mostly exist in the UK.
Karaites have been recognised by all leading rabbis in israel as complete jews. And if you ask me, they are the true jews, sticking to God's law in the bible instead of the Talmud, which is a false rabbinical law that has actually taken Jews away from their true law and tradition.
Sephardic, Yemenite, Mizrahi, Ashkenazi, etc. Are just ethnic/cultural Jewish identities. They still practice any of the movements. There are Sephardic Jews (same with the others) who are everything from secular to Orthodox. The food and languages and traditions differ slightly. But all follow the same worship service routine and use Hebrew in shul.
Karaite Judaism and Samaritans Judaism and Ethiopian Judaism are no rabbinic Judaism. Reform UK is more close to Conservative Massorti Judaism. Liberal Judaism in the UK is the same as Refom Judaism in the US.
@@issacshlomo171 I know that these tree branches of Judaism aren't rabbinic, but this is why I said that this video is only about Ashkenazi (Sephardic and Mizrahi is less different because they are rabbinic, so beside some cultural differences there aren't in beliefs, what exist between Ashkenazi and not rabbinic Judaism branches). From what I know Liberal Judaism in the UK is more progressive and open to converts or critical to Israel politics and actions, than Reform Judaism in the US, but I can be mistaken.
@@elizabethelias1005You’re right they are along cultural lines, but sefardim and mizrachim are far more tolerant of various religious observance. It isn’t separated into branches.
These branches are more found in the west than in total Jewry
I would like to convert to Chabad Judaism. I like Judaism since my teen age. I had read Hindu, Sikh, Muslims, Christian and Jewish( Talmud ) holy books. At last I came to conclusion that Hasidic Judaism is best for me.🙂

@@Rahul-Cohen28 ultra orthodox isn’t accepted by all branches. Why did you think it was?

There are secular Jews. Judaism is not just a religion it's also a culture. Their parents may have been practicing Jews and the off spring decided not to follow but are still tied to the traditions.
Secular? If they are atheists they are not Jews by roots of the word itself.

Excellent! By the way, Chabad is pronounced as if it were a Spanish word: Jabad. The “ch” is not like Charlie; it is gutteral.
No actually. As a Chabad Lubavitch person myself. I can assure you, only ppl in Spanish speaking countries pronoun it with a J sound. The CH is not J.
The only letter that matches the sound is the letter Chet in Hebrew which is ח
It looks like you are not familiar with the Spanish pronunciation of the letter J. It's like the letter כ (no dagesh) pronounced by the Mizrahim. Also, among many other inaccuracies, (Taf/Tet, Caf/Qof, Alef/A'ayin), modern Hebrew doesn't make a difference between the pronunciation of the two letters כ and ח
Drop the C and you got it. It's that simple. So "huh-baad".

I have to say that your presentation was clear and well researched. And even after 44 years, I actually learned a lot from your video.
Very well done.
I miss other branches too: Sephardis, Karatites, Samataritans (yes, they still exist!)
I believe, though I might be wrong, just studying this. That there are regional differences in Judaism. And two of the more common are Sephardic (Spain, Middle eastern, etc) and Ashkenazi (Jewish diaspora in Europe). The differences seem to be cultural--for instance there are different practices for Passover as to what foods to avoid.
Kara’ites and Samaritans are considered separate from Judaism. They follow the same Torah as Jews, but have very divergent beliefs.
Sefaradim, however, do deserve mention. Literally, it refers to Jews of Iberian (Spanish/Portuguese) origin. After the Inquisition (c 1492), they spread to North Africa, Turkey, Netherlands, France, Syria, Palestine, and the New World. People often conflate them with Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) Jews. Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria, Kurdistan, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Yemen, et al. Mizrahi and Sefaradi have more in common with each other than either one has with Ashkenazim.
@@michaelfishman3976 Thanks. Very interesting and useful in my education.
What Michaelfishman3976 said.
The Samaritans are not Jews and Kara'aites consider themselves Jews but not Rabbinical Jews.
These groups you have mentioned are interesting. It would also be interesting to have discussion of Jews from different parts of the world; such as Persian, Yemeni, Ethiopian, Algerian, Moroccan, South or Latin American and so on and so forth.
Definitely! We are a very diverse group.
I'm not Jewish myself but i am intrigued especially with the history of the Persian Jews which I believe is one of the oldest diaspora if not The Oldest.
shouldn’t it be iranian jews because persian is itself an ethnicity and not a nationality?

Judaism is the Religion whilst Jewish are the people.
One can’t be an Atheist Christian or an Atheist Muslim but can be an Atheist Jewish.
That is because nearly all followers of Judaism are of the Semitic ethnic group, sometimes known as being Jewish.
Right
So if you are jew you can't leave jewishness but can leave Judaism. I get it. It's a race.
So khazarians can't be jews because they converted. They are not from the blood of Abraham? Am I right
They are believers of Judaism. Makes sense.

Hi! I'm Jewish and you did a great job! One point I'd like to highlight is that even though there are different Jewish sects, we all consider ourselves AND each other to be authentically Jewish -- even Jews who don't believe in G-d. This is quite different from many Christian groups who don't think other Christian denominations are "real Christians". Moreover, Jews can and do move in and out of these different sects and synagogues in a fluid way that's also different from our Christian cousins. For example, although I'm a member of a Reform Synagogue, I often attend services at an Orthodox temple. We (Jews) have many more similarities than differences; neither the practices we share, nor the traditions we express differently, make any Jew more or less Jewish to G-d or eachother. Pretty cool, I think. Shalom!
I would argue you wrong. Most Christians' believe others are "real Christians'". I have never met anyone to say otherwise. Also you can attend church anywhere you want. Maybe you are thinking of Catholics since they don't allow other to take communion? But using the words "most" and "many" are wrong.
@@michaeleldridge5640 I appreciate your feedback. Here's where that thought came from: I converted to Judaism after growing up in a Southern Baptist church (the largest Protestant denomination in the US). It was regularly taught to us that Catholicism as well as any other denomination of Christian church (Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Mennonite, Quaker, etc.) was a "false church" and that people who worshiped in them weren't "saved" and needed evangelical outreach. Sounds like you had a different experience.
I have met many Christians who claim that Catholics are "not real Christians", I have met Christians who believe Mormons aren't real Christians. There is much in fighting between Christian sects that doesn't exist to nearly the same extent in Judaism.
Can you also easily marry somebody from a different group? I would say no.
@@michaeleldridge5640 Heterodox cannot participate in the Orthodox Church services. They can stand in the back of a church, in silence but they cannot participate.
Just a little comment.
The text is surprisingly accurate. But please note that the pictures are often misleading.
How?
@@HippieVeganJewslim For example, during the segment about Conservative Judaism, he shows a picture of Chasidic study session. Conservatives don't do the black hat/garb.
I learned about the non-theistic branch of Judaism from your presentation. Thank you!
There are quite a few humanist Jews within the Reform and Reconstructionist branches, not just Humanistic Judaism.
Agreed, and there are many humanists within Orthodox circles as well.
Individual practices do not always align with the theological tenets of a particular movement. In other words, the Reform and Reconstruction movements have articulated theological approaches that include belief and connection to God. There are definitions to the theological values of each movement within Judaism. An individual Jew can choose to affiliate with a Synagogue community for a number of personal reasons while also reaching other opinions about whether God exists, but those beliefs may not be totally in step with the “official” beliefs of the Movement.

I consider myself a Humanistic Jew. I was raised in a Christian household by my mother's family (very far back) was Jewish. I grew up hearing stories of the Holocaust, seeing my grandmother who seemed a bit conflicted as to whether she was Christian or Jew, and eating some of the foods. I have always considered that I am sort of Jewish. I found out about this branch not that long ago. But before then I started celebrating some major holidays, reading, etc. I don't claim to know that much, though. The thing that drew me to this is that I am a non-theist (agnostic or whatever). I have found that people in this movement have lots of different stories. And actually though maybe they won't admit it, agnosticism and atheism are kind of common among Jews.
You may be a Halachic Jew; that is, recognized as Jewish by Jewish law as determined by the maternal line, or regardless of what religion or no religion you practice.
Literally, I was having a convo with my husband this evening about the different branches of Judaism. Your video, which is excellent btw, appeared as a suggestion 🤔👂
I’m from metro Detroit - Rabbi Sherwin Wine married me in 1993 - my first marriage. I was unaffiliated with a synagogue at the time. My ex was bar mitzvah’ed by him (the shul is a mile from me). I had no idea Rabbi Wine created the movement of Humanistic Judaism. Wow! I’m gobsmacked. Sadly, he was killed during a vacation to Morocco many years ago. Lovely man. If interested, I have video of him. Thank you 🙏🏻
I can't recall the name of the youtube channel but there are videos of his. If you search for Humanistic Judaism there are some great educational videos and he certainly has some. Sad to hear how he died--seems very tragic.
I am a Jew and learned from your clear presentation. Thank you.
Thank you!
FYI, the "ch" in Chabad (5:03) is not pronounced like the "ch" in child. The sound comes from the back of the throat. The Hebrew letter that the "ch" is meant to transliterate is actually the same letter that starts the word Hasid.
As in Ach! it loch.
Is it me or is he pronouncing Judaism weird too?
@leaaugusta9924 I think I've heard it pronounced that way, although the online dictionaries pronounce it Judy-ism (reminds me of the late comedienne Judy Tenuta, l'havdil). But Judaica is pronounced with the long "a" sound, so why not Judaism too.

Wow. I've never heard of number 1 and a couple more. That was very informative. Thank you.
Really interesting video. Many things were new to me!
i have a video suggestion that you'd might consider: misconceptions about God, people like atheists always refer to God as "a bearded man in the sky" or "magic sky daddy", or that's how artists and media depict God to be. But that's not how judaism, christianity, or islam conceive of God to be
True God is nothing like a human
Unfortunately, many do perceive the Most High in this way.
They don’t that the sky separates the water from above from the lower waters and gods through is above the upper water 👨🏽💻
I thought that was a pretty fair characterization. I’m a practicing Jew, and I hadn’t heard of all your groups (renewal?). I noticed that you used the same footage for conservative and Orthodox - and your images of hasidic and yeshivish were mixed up. One or two pronunciation issues… but overall you did quite a good job!

@@shawnhall3849 Bigot
I grew up Reform, experimented with Humanistic and Reconstructionist Judaism, and eventually progressed from Conservative to somewhere between Modern Orthodox and Chabad, and went to Yeshiva.
Basically I’ve spanned the entire spectrum. Thanks for covering it so well.
Thank you for your interest in our culture and for the video. Within the so-called "ultra-Orthodox" community, we refer to ourselves as merely Orthodox and/or Hassidic. The reason behind this is that this group of Jews feels that they are merely being Orthodox in keeping Torah. The "ultra" label does not come from within this group. Blessings to you, and may we draw closer to appreciating all of humanity.
Very good point. Thank you! We just feel we are being observant and are trying to make our observances beautiful to Hashem. We follow all of Torah instead of partial Torah, and they call it “extreme.” Perhaps, instead, they should call it “complete.” We try to dress nice and respectably in the presence of Hashem which is all the time since, as Torah says, does Hashem not fill the earth? See, there is no issue. Non-Jews read: “Path of the Righteous Gentile,” by Clorfene and Rogalsky. Blessings!
Still, there are orthodoxes that are not Haredi or Hassidi, therefore the ultra is very fitting. An extrisimist often don't see himself as one
True, but there is still a major difference between a Haredi Jew and a Modern Orthodox Jew.
I wanted to ask to do the same for Christianity, but then I thought it will be days long since they have thousands of sects as far as I know.
There's a fairly new channel called Redeemed Zoomer...the guy who runs it is a stout Presbyterian but is fairly tolerant of other kinds of Christians, despite his doctrinal stance. He put out a video called something like "Every Kind of Christianity in 3 Minutes". It's fast but pretty accurate overall, judging from the more sober-minded comments in the thread.
Thousands! 😮
Tens of thousands! I prefer to just identify as a Believer. Most self-described Christian denominations are trinitarian, but God is echad (one). Not three. Even Jesus said this. Jesus was a man, a servant, whose God was Yahweh. Thank the nascent roman “church” for the trinitarian heresy. 👍 We don’t all believe such nonsense. Jewish followers of Jesus were accepted in the first century temple. Well. Before 70 AD of course, the 9th of Av.
@@joelslack2138blaming the “ Roman Church” for any idea they don’t like is a popular habit for some groups.
But it’s historically inaccurate.
In the early church, Rome was just one of several centers of Christianity in the Empire.
The others were places like Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem ,etc.
They all played a role in the formation of doctrine.
The Bishop of Rome ( the Pope) didn’t even attend some of the councils.
The Alexandrians we’re particularly active. So guess you should blame the “ African Church” for a lot of whatever you have your knickers in a knot about.
@@c.m.cordero1772 The Roman church wasn’t just “Rome.” The “Latin” contingent was tight with Alexandria, and eventually Rome pushed out the other centers of Christian thought by the same tactics they used to solidify and centralize their power for a thousand years.

Dude - you’ve got a lot of knowledge, and I commend you for your interest and your learning. But you just lost me when you pronounced the “Ch” in “Chabad” as the “ch” in “chair” or “cherry.” You gotta try, at least, to get the guttural sound of Chanukah.

Good introduction to the various streams (not sects or denominations) of Judaism. A couple of additional points. One is that the term "ultra-orthodox" is considered by some Jews, especially orthodox Jews, as pejorative. Another point is that some Jews do not regard themselves as members of any stream, while others do not believe in dividing Jews into streams of Judaism. Finally, there are a few more streams of Judaism such as Karaite Judaism, in which Jews believe only in following the Written Law (Torah) but not the Oral Law (Talmud), and Nazarene Jews, who believe that Jesus was the Messiah but not Gd.
So interesting the two streams you mentioned are even closer to Islam. You mean to tell me there is a stream of Judaism that accepts Jesus as a Prophet?
Is this the same as Messianic Jews?
@@EdTravelingEast No, Nazarene Jews are not Messianic Jews, who themselves consist of different types. However, most Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is both the Messiah and Gd, whereas Nazarene Jews believe that Jesus is the Messiah but not Gd. There are other differences as well.
Am a yid myself & have never heard of Nazarene Jews until now. There can't be very many of them around...now I'm curious. Thanks for the new factoid.
Actually, there is quite a large movement of Nazerene Jews, so I was surprised that it was not listed.
Thank you. Never heard of Humanistic Judaism before. Very informative.
You are so respectful a presenter! You show a genuine interest in Judaism and in education, for self and others. That makes you a very special person. You make your parents proud! My maternal grandmother’s family was slaughtered in WWII. 💔 But, she grew up in Poland and had Hasidism in her background. I lean towards humanist and my kids are reformed. However, boots on the ground, we don’t distinguish tho the distinctions are there we’re just all Jewish. Enjoyed this!
Thanks for this effort and for your research.
Your surprise would have been less big had you realized that Judaism is not just a religion, that it is most importantly a peoplehood, that as a member of this nation you are a Jew no matter what your specific beliefs are. (Yes, you can indeed be an atheist and a Jew.) It is The People of Israel (not limited to today’s State of Israel). [Israel = יִשְׂרָאֵל Yīsrāʾēl = “Struggled with G-d”]
Judaism not only permits divergence of opinions, it actually mandates self-study, group-study and constant exchange of interpretations and opinions, a constant struggle in the pursuit of understanding the divine and leading a sacred life, of making the world a better place.
In essence, Judaism can not be fairly compared with Islam and Christianity, these being purely religions, i.e. belief systems (with emphasis on “belief”) without national or ethnic basis.
Wow very informative. I didn't expect there would be a humanistic Judaism. This is really intriguing.
To the best of my knowledge, all branches of Judaism have to come to terms with atheism. This is simply because being a Jew is related to who your mother is, not what you think or believe.
Not necessarily from the mother, but this position varies from sect to sect, and even as that goes most rabbis will disagree with each other and decide on a case-by-case basis if asked. At any rate, this is mainly a controversy among the Ashkenazim as nearly all other Jewish groups still use an old world view about the household and community to decide such matters in practice. In other words, only the Ashkenazim think of it in racial terms.

It was crucial to the Rebbe that non-Jews be made aware of Hashem’s requirements that He gave at Creation which bring great blessing. These seven requirements are beautifully detailed in the book, “Path of the Righteous Gentile.” These are very special Laws, and are separate from Jewish Laws. Each of these two paths are beautiful to Hashem.

A nice job of presenting diffrent kinds of judaism, but there are few incorrections. First of all some of the branches are not an official form of judaism, they are more of some subsidiary movements. You basically could divide the jewish world into three- orthodox (haredi), traditional (maosrati) and reforms and maybe conservatives (masorties jews are diffrent from the definition you brought) . Most of the groups you mentioned are branches of those main groups. Besides, there are some groups in this video which are only (or mainly) exist in the USA, there are more of branches around the world.
I hadn't heard of humanistic and Yevishish branches. The other 8 I had heard of. I also heard of a few others.
Humanistic Judaism is basically Non Theistic branch of Judaism. It's based on Humanistic Philosophy and it's human centered Philosophy. It see Judaism as culture and fate of Jewish People.
Thank you, a very clear summary with a good understanding.
Wonderful, succinct introduction!
The research for the verbal content for this video is really pretty good for someone outside the Jewish communities. Where the video is a bit lacking is in the coordination between the images and the groups that are being discussed.

The Christians claim Jesus had to die 4 our sins, because we humans are too sinful
The Christians have no reply to the following 3 Questions
➜ Why did God Forgive humans without the need of human sacrifice in the past according to the bible ❓❓❓❓❓
➜ What Did the Christians gain from the so called sacrifice from Jesus if they still must repent ❓❓❓❓❓
➜ If Jesus really willingly Died for our sins, why was he begging God to save him from getting killed ❓❓❓❓❓
Jesus cried 0ut in a Loud voice, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
( Matthew 27 : 46 )
Don’t really seem like the right forum for axe-grinding.
A Christian Replies:
1. He didn’t. God promised the coming of Jesus and His death for mankind, as the promised “seed” or offspring of the woman, at the time of Adam and Eve’s sin. See Genesis 3:15. That promise, like God’s Word in Genesis 1, is creative, thus making the event that He prophesied reality. He then ordained a system of animal sacrifices intended to illustrate and typify Christ’s coming sacrifice, also illustrating the forgiveness that comes through it, by clothing Adam and Eve with coats made of the skins of the sacrificed animal(s). See Gen. 3:21. All the forgiveness for sin, through all time, which has ever come to mankind has come through Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross, which death was already a reality in the mind of God from before the foundation of the world. Rev. 13:8; Acts 15:18. For, “on the seventh-day God rested from all of His works”. Gen. 2:3.
2. It is not what Christians “gain”. The whole world has gained for Jesus is the “Saviour of All Men”. We all had gone astray like sheep, and the “Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all”. Isaiah 53:6 No exceptions. Our sinning is the multiplication of Adam and Eve’s sin, because it was by one singular man(Adam), that sin entered the world. Therefore, one man(Jesus)-if not initially involved in that sin (so Christ came from outside the human race to join it in incarnation), could represent the world and die for its sin “in Adam”. All men live because Jesus died in their place. What Christian’s gain is what any man can gain from “believing” in God’s “gift” of life and unmerited favor (grace); they gain the gift of “faith” and “repentance” itself, for the heart no longer doubts God’s love or need stand in continual terror of His justice, but is reconciled to “love the Lord our God” with all our heart and soul and might, being motivated to honor, worship and serve Him, in obedience to His perfect Law. Deut. 6:5; Psalm 19:7; James 1:25.
3. Matt. 27 is the recognition of the rejection Jesus felt because He was being identified with sin in our behalf; sin, which God, of course, hates. When Jesus prayed for deliverance from the cup, He prayed for that only “if” it was the Father’s will. Matt. 26:39. It was not the Father’s will, so Jesus went on to give up His life, obeying the Father. So Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Gen. 3 among many others, and was obedient to death, for it had “pleased the Lord” to “crush him” and make His soul “an offering for sin”, so that you would be saved. Isaiah 53:10. Thus you as part of the whole human race were saved from what would have been certain eternal death by Jesus dying in your place. John 6:33. Now, the question for you and for every man is will you “believe our report” and truly appreciate from your heart what God has done for you, letting the goodness of God lead you to turn away from rebelling against God. Isaiah 53:1; Romans 2:4. Jesus is the light of the world. Anyone who truly believes in Jesus as the Light loves and obeys God and will be saved unto certain eternal life. “We love Him, because He first loved us”. 1 John 4:19 “He that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” 1 John 2:17.
He wasn't begging God to save him......what he said was...."For this cause was I born." The words in kjv un less they have been changed, too.😢
As someone commented earlier, the information is good but some of the visuals don't match the groups talked about. For instance, Chassidic Jewish groups can be identified by the black caftans and distinctive hats, which by their style can tell you which Chassidic group they belong to. This type of attire was modeled after 18th century Polish fashion, which was when the Bal-Shem Tov founded the sect. The Orthodox do keep their heads covered but out in public but they will wear clothing that conforms with what is traditional in the societies they live in.
Your images for conservative Judaism look more like orthodox jews (you use the same image when discussing haredi). Your images for orthodox Judaism are of hasidic jews (the "ultra orthodox") rather than modern orthodox. Except for your image of the family in front of the candles. If that was an orthodox family the man would have a beard and be wearing a kippa (yalmuke) on his head; the woman would have her head covered with a veil.
Humanistic Judaism and reconstructionist are similar in that BOTH reject the more spiritual/theological aspects of Judaism and observe Judaism more culturally.
One other "branch" to discuss here might be secular Judaism. Though this is basically just non-practicing jews, so not really a formal "branch", but just a significant number of jews today (especially in the USA).
I too noticed the careless reuse of video clips.
BS, I've seen conservative jews use black hat too but not full black clothes.
Thank you for your research used in creating this video.
Not bad.. although quite American-centric.
Many of these newer branches aren't even noteworthy outside of the U.S.
And? American Jews form almost the majority of Jewish people of the world so they are very much representative of the Jewish people as a whole.
There is one branch more worth to mention. That branch has nothing to do with Judaism, a product of the rabbinical thought at the Academy in Yavne around year 90 AD. That branch originates directly from mosaism and is messianic by nature. Yet, it has nothing to do with trinitarian Christianity. Jews have continued to join that movement over the past centuries because its main message was unlimited, unconditional love; a mystical category that cannot be described easily during the talmudic discussions
thank you. good video. pronounce chabad " HA- bahd".
Nice video, but very American-centric. Most Jews today live in Israel and almost all of the groups you mentioned hardly exist there. In Israel the vast majority of Jews are "Traditional" and un-affiliated without any specific Synagogue or group membership. There are Haredi (Hassidic and Non-Hassidic), along with Modern Orthodox that keep strict Jewish observance, but most everyone else sees Judaism as a (tribal) nationality - not strictly a religious commitment. Strangely, you left off the whole story of Black Jews (another America-only story).
The images are VERY inaccurate, especially during the section of Orthodox Judaism (Hasidism when talking about modern orthodox, etc). And there are definitely some who would object to classifying any sect that rejects the reality of G-d or divinity of His laws as a “branch” of Judaism. A religion based solely on culture is just a…culture.
Hahaha- ch-abad!
Also, as a conservative Jew, you were using images of a smattering of Orthodox sects. Conservative Judaism is more like a gradient, with various synagogues being closer to reform and others closer to modern Orthodox (many people at mine identified as modern Orthodox, for instance). We have a common liturgy, prayer books, and seminaries in the US, but aside from that Judaism tends to be very, very decentralized outside of the various Orthodox sects
I am excessively impressed... You're a great educator... My great-grandfather was a rabbi and ironically I was raised in an orthodox tradition in Passaic Park New Jersey but my dad who had such a love for all people and always taught me that every religion you can find God and loved and so we became conservative LOL cuz there's nothing else to do I have a severe learning disability because I am paranoid schizophrenic I made 68 the reason I said LOL as I used to do a lot of stand-up comedy in institutions of isolation and forgotten people I used to tell the joke but it was really my learning disability that my parents they sent me to yeshiva and I was taught to read and write from right to left and then they sent me the public school in between all that so that I had to learn to read and write from left to right so I tell them I'm dyslexic by religion but ultimately the only way I was ever able to learn was my dad who work 12 to 14 hours a day and still found time to 2 to tutor me on a daily basis
The reason I bring this up is I learned a few things that I really didn't know and I think you should take a bow for that because as much as everybody seems to hate social media blah blah blah it is such a blessing to live on RUclips a third of my life and learned so much and you did a great job thank you very much Avi
May Hashem give you an immediate and permanent refuah shlaimeh, sir.
Great video! It’s very nice to see your very nice research - usually people get a lot of things wrong, but not you. Kudos!
Of course, there’s space for some adjustments here and there. I’m not gonna talk about everyone of them, tho.
When talking about conservative Judaism you mainly show images of Orthodox Jews. Also, despite the name “conservative”, this stream is also progressive, egalitarian and pluralistic. Together with Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism, conservative Judaism also ordinates openly gay men and women as rabbis.
This is a really good introduction to the different aspects of Judaism from a religious perspective. I would say that you missed at least one group that is very important: the Karaite Jews. It might also be worth mentioning the closely related Samaritans, which have very similar religious roots to the Jews. I guess there would technically also be Messianic Jews, although most other Jews would probably reject this group as Jewish.
Messianic‘Jews’ are NOT Jews, they are CHRISTIANS
Messianic Jews mostly aren't Jewish. They are typically Christians that want to get back to the Jewish roots of Jesus. They find a messianic church, join, and then call themselves completed Jews. The denomination was created in order to convert Jews. They are basically Evangelical Christians. They just make their churches look like synagogues because they want Jews to feel comfortable. It's a total scam.
About humanistic Judaism, it’s kind of funny when people see this as a surprising thing. I think that’s because people insist to see Judaism strictly as a religion, rather than a people. But we are, in fact, a people. Our religion is part of our civilization’s culture, it permeates various aspects of life, but we’re a people after all. Most of jews in the world are not religious or spiritual and even don’t observe any aspect of Jewish religion. Since ancient times Judaism approaches the issue of Jews who don’t believe in God and it isn’t really something new among the Jews.
That said, there are those who don’t believe in God but want to keep traditions, because they’re our traditions after all; there are also religious observants who are atheists; there are spiritual Jews, which believe in God, but don’t seek for connection with God through Jewish practices. Most of Jews in Israel, for example, are secular Jews, in general non believers and non practicing. I’m sure in the U.S. is also like this, but when a Jew is not a practicing one, we can’t actually figure out that he or she is a Jewish person, again because of the fact that people want to see Judaism strictly as a religion, which is not :-)
You might want to look into karaite Judaism as well.
Yes. Karaite Judaidm is very important. Also Heymanot Judaism.
@@BigJFindAWay Who but some joker would include 3 separate entries on Ortho Judaism, one on Humanistic and none on Qaraite Judaism and Heymanot?
I think the dude did all of this on purpose.
Yeshivish and Renewal are new to me. I've heard of the Humanists but I don't think they're part of Judaism itself. Nice video.

As a Christian i look up to Judaism, we are similar to each other, plus Christ was Jewish himself.
Awesome explanation and pronunciations 😂
Great job
Helpful and well presented
What????
I am Jewish from Israel and it's looks so different from here:
We have and respect the Karaites ancient group,and the ethiopian ancient group and the Yemmenic and the Spharadic going according to Maran Karo.
We also have Ashkenazi going according to the Ramo rules which are divided to Hasidic and Mithnagdim which are both very strict and against modern global influences.
And we also have the modern Zionist movment that try to unite the groups together and addopt the good things from the modern global influences.
And we have secular and traditional people.
We also know that far away in America there are millions of secular people that their ancestors were Jews who decided to stay in exile next to the pots of meat and compensate their self guilt by creating temporary spiritual philosophies such as reforms-conservative-reconstucters humanitirian that their aim is to slow the speed of assimilation.
יפה סיכמתה
Thank you for breaking it down into something I could understand.
As you mentioned in the video, Judaism is really the religion of the Jewish people, which is to follow the biblical law.
so any movement within the Jewish people that doesn't follow those laws I don't think should be called a branch of Judaism rather a Jewish movement or something like that.
Exactly. There’s are a lot of spin-offs of Judaism that don’t follow the biblical law as understood and interpreted for thousands of years - karaites, samaritans, reform, conservative. These aren’t Judaism. These are their own religion that tries to take elements of Judaism and then add their own beliefs on top of that.
@@uria702 Right, I was also thinking same, But I think reform or conservative are less religious observant group than orthodox judaism, so it is order from more religious to less religious observant.🙂
The less Religious observance goes like:
Ultra Orthodox Judaism>Orthodox Judaism>Modern Orthodox Judaism>Conservative Judaism>Reform Judaism.🤠
@@Rahul-Cohen28 reform is not Judaism and neither is conservative. Their beliefs are against the Torah - they don’t keep the Shabbat. They accept gays and even perform gay marriages in the synagogue. A “reformation” is not the same religion. Most reform aren’t even Jewish according to the Torah which requires your mother be Jewish. Most reform are mixed. You can call them whatever you want, but they are not considered Jewish by all orthodoxy and by the Torah itself.
@@uria702 As I initially suspected, your opinion about the Qaraite Jews is informed by the usual Rabbinic Orthodox narrowmindedness.
If you considerably broadened your horizons and set your bias aside just long enough to acquire reasonable knowledge about Qaraite Judaism, you wouldn't be writing nonsense about it.
Wrong, jews are all part of one people, no matter what their beliefs are. I am 100% jewish, yet I do not keep Shabbat or Kosher. Secular jews are just as jewish as orthodox ones, only make other choices in their lives. Btw, I am a member of an orthodox synagogue, and keep traditions that I find meaningful.
Great Video and yes there were some I did not know of. There is one you left out that should be included and that is Lapid Judaism. Thank you for this video.❤
Reform, conservative and their offshoots and sub groups, are religions created by Jews, with many Jewish adherents, however they are not Judaism.. They are separate Jewish religions based on Judaism…
What is called ‘Orthodox’ (a term invented by the reformation that occurred among Ashkenazim) is simply Judaism, and there are branches of it…
Is this only American and European phenomenon?
Because traditionally, the Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews have no such thing as reform nor conservative neither orthodox. It is just being Jewish and they follow the mainstream Judaism. Whether they are secular or religious, they still cling to their community when it comes to marriage, divorce, dietary laws and holidays.
I think the same way can be applied to those in Israel. I’ve Israeli friends who are secular and irreligious but they still associate with their community and it is just Judaism. No reform or progressive or liberal Judaism whatsoever.
@@EAlyahya
I think it is mostly a American and European phenomenon, at least initially, unfortunately it has spread. However I completely agree about Sephardi, Mizrahi etc..
@@AryehShmuel yeah it seems they even have communities in Israel and other parts of the world.
However in the UK and Commonwealth countries, I think the majority of Ashkenazi Jews consider themselves belong to the United Synagogue under the Chief Rabbi of the UK and the Commonwealth.
They aren’t Haredim/ultra orthodox, just simply Judaism and under American definition, it would be labelled as centrist orthodoxy.
Their affiliation to the community isn’t based on religious interpretation or reformation. Simply just being Jewish whether they observe the Halachah or not.
I think that is the Ashkenazi version of what Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews really are.
Reform, Conservative, & Reconstructing Judaism are all Judaism. They’re not separate religions. We use the same texts as orthodox but understand & apply them differently.
@@christo-chaney using the same texts but applying them differently means they are based on Judaism, but they are not Judaism, what they are doing is heretical at best, however many reformists and reconstructionists are not even Jewish today, even though their religions were started by Jews.. So they can’t be heretics unless they were Jewish and knowledgeable enough to qualify.
Orthodox is a term invented by reformism to define people continuing to practice Judaism… there really isn’t ‘orthodox’ Judaism, what is called ‘orthodox’ is simply Judaism… It’s not a religion, it’s a national legal system… Those that claim to have the authority to reinterpret it according to their own understanding, not only violate the system, they eventually attach to the values, principles, culture and laws of foreign nations.
Xtianity was an early reform movement as well, they also used the same texts, understanding and were applying them differently.
Humanistic Judaism isn't really a stream of Judaism. Their numbers are so small it's negligible.
Yeah but I think it rightly identifies so many liberal Jewish agnostic/atheists who may not be a card caring member - but could make up a plurality of the American Jewish population if they were.
It's important to include the Karaites, which originated millenia before the splits identified here. Karaites are a great example that not all sects stem from the rabbinic tradition.
A few other, much smaller movements which are truer separate branches of Judaism (the major movements in this video all stemming from normative rabbinic Judaism) the same way that Sunni, Shia, Ibadi, etc. are separate branches of Islam: Ethiopian (disappeared with the migration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel), Karaite, Samaritan.
I'm curious about your research bc you missed out a whole section of jews- Sepharadim! Jews from North Africa and the Middle East
"Humanistic" Judaism can also be explained by the fact that we Jews aren't only a religion. We are a people. So there can even be atheist "Jews". This included some of the founders of modern Israel, who were non-observant Jews such as Ben Gurion. Also, some of the categories you list - one can be more than one. For instance - Chabad is both Hasidic (Haredi) and Orthodox. Different Hasidic groups can often be differentiated (at least the men) by different types of hats. For instance, Satmar and Lubavitch, and Belz Hasidim all wear different types of hats.
Different Hasidic groups are often named for the place their ancestors lived in Eastern Europe. For instance, Belz was in Galacia (Poland), Lubavitch was a town in Russia, and the Satmar were in Satu-Mar in Hungary.
Also, Lubavich had a rebbe, but he had no children, so there is no new rebbe at the present time, nor is there a plan for any successor. (I attended his leviah (funeral) in Crown Heights).
I like the parallels to Christian sects, in that Hasid means Pietist and Hared's meaning can be taken as equivalent to Quaker or Shaker. Also, Misnagdim kind of means Protestants.
One thing not mentioned in the video is the sects views on what texts are considered to be from G-d.
All of the Orthodox sects, Chabad, Haredi etc. Believe in two Torahs given to Moses at Sinai. The written Torah, where all the 613 laws are given. And the oral law (later written down in the Talmud) where all the 613 laws are explained. These are considered both binding documents between G-d and Jews .
The conservatives believe the written Torah to have been given to Moses. But the Talmud to be a human invention (but many view it as a historical work of philosophy worthy of at least some understanding).
The rest have radically different views and often view neither the written or oral Torahs to be binding on them at all. They do what they feel/believe to be right regardless of how it lines up with the written word.
Was this specifically from the Ashkenazi tradition? I don’t know much about Sephardic practice.
I appreciate your passion for Judaism. Just a note of correction, however. Some chasidic groups do not have an hereditary Rebbe. For example, Breslov. Also, many Reconstructionist Jews are non theistic. That is, following, Kaplan, God is a concept based on the desire for good.
It's not so much 10 branches of Judaism as it is sub-branches and sub-sub-branches, especially within the Orthodox branch. Thus, there are Humanistic, Renewal, Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative (all of which have evolved from within Ashkenazic Jewry only), and Orthodox. The main sub-branches in Orthodox are Modern/Centrist and Haredi. Haredi, in turn, is divided into the sub-sub-branches of Yeshivish/Litvish and Hasidic. Thus, six branches of Judaism, two sub-branches of Orthodoxy, and two sub-sub-branches of Haredi Orthodoxy.
10 branches = “I don’t agree with your teachings so I’m creating another branch with what I want to follow”
Very interesting. I did not know about the progressive, a few of the other branches.
The most ancient richest and powerful religion in the world. Nice to see Humanistic Jews get a mention.
I'm not trying to be mean but are you just regurgitating What was said on the useful charts channel 3 days ago? Because basically everything he said you're saying and it's funny how your video came out after his video
Well done sir . Ignore the haters .
The video accurately portrayed orthodox jews, although there are some middle of the road between modern orthodox and yeshivish. Good job!
Who are Ashkanizi Jews ?
As far as Orthodox Judaism is concerned, you did get it a little mixed up. Most of the religious Jews are identified by their clothes as to where they belong. One look says almost everything about them.
Nah, I've seen Hassidic jews who are against Israel as well and ones who are are pro Israel. They can be very different even though they look the same and even belong to the same denomination.
1. Reform
2. Conservative
3. Orthodox
4. Sefaradi
5. Ashkenazi
6. Hassidic
7. Chabad
8. Yeshivish
9. Modern Orthodox
These groups run along different dimensions, and overlap.
dude sefaradi and ashkenazi has to do with the region they're from, it's not a religious sect like the rest.
