Understanding Orthodox Judaism: Roots and Beliefs in Tradition

Orthodox Judaism embodies a commitment to following established standards and beliefs rooted in the Torah. The term "Orthodox" comes from Greek roots: "orthos," meaning "right," and "doxa," meaning "opinion" or "belief." This signifies a "right opinion" or adherence to traditional Jewish teachings. Orthodox Jews honor 613 commandments (mitzvot), viewing them as essential to their faith and practice. Their unwavering dedication to these principles helps maintain a connection to their heritage and a structured spiritual path.
