podcast-host
They are divided about how they interpret halacha, which is kind of the traditional body of Jewish law.

way to go or the way of um the way to go or the way of walking and refers to the you know comprehensive system of Jewish laws guiding religious, ethical, and daily life.

Reformed
podcast-host
Reform Judaism refers or views Jewish law as divinely inspired, of course, but adaptable to modern times.
podcast-host
Reformed Jews emphasize ethical values over strict ritual enforcement, hold egalitarian services in local languages, and focus on personal autonomy.
podcast-host
Then you have conservative Judaism, which is kind of emerging as this middle.
podcast-host
Middle path between Orthodox and Reform.
