Haredi Judaism

Haredi Judaism, often called ultra-Orthodox, is a conservative Jewish community that prioritizes strict adherence to traditional religious laws, practices, and customs established by rabbinic authorities. They emphasize Torah study, prayer, modesty, and community cohesion, often maintaining distinct dress and lifestyle choices. Haredim generally avoid modern secular influences to preserve their religious identity and values. While they share core beliefs with other Orthodox Jews, they tend to adopt a more wary or insular approach toward integration with mainstream society. Their goal is to live according to a rigorous interpretation of Jewish law, fostering spiritual growth and communal stability.
