Hasidism - strongest today in the United States and Israel. According to Hasidim, the most important thing in religion is the performance of rituals, piety, and the joy of serving God. Its charismatic leader is a tzaddik.
Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Haredi) - negative towards all change and cultural progress, and its members adhere to the principle "Everything new is forbidden by the Torah".
Modern Orthodoxy (Neo-Orthodoxy) - this type of Judaism seeks to reconcile Orthodox Judaism with modern culture, science, and society.
Reform (Progressive) Judaism - recognizes tradition as historical and subject to reform. It rejects the messianism of the Jewish people, and its adherents recognize only the Jewish faith as a nationality. The largest groups of Reform Judaism are found in the United States and Great Britain, and the smallest in Israel.
Conservative Judaism - indirectly combines elements of Orthodox and Reform Judaism, advocating the preservation of the Hebrew language in liturgy, the observance of the Sabbath, and a kosher diet.
Falasha - this faction is represented by descendants of Judaized settlers of Ethiopian origin. They adhere to the principles of Judaism without Hebrew in the liturgy (they use the Ethiopian language Geʽez).
Karaite Judaism - rejects the Talmud, with Moses as the greatest prophet.
Messianic Judaism (Judeo-Christianity) - combines the use of Jewish law with Christian law.
