What are the different Jewish denominations in Israel?

Answer by  WiseTeacher (258)

In Israel, there are a number of different streams of Judaism, depending on an individual's degree of Orthodoxy or secularism, and their community. Askenazi Jews may belong to Chassidic groups such as Lubavitch, Ultra-orthodox or Haredi groups such as Eda Hungari, and Conservative or Reform streams. Sephardics may identify with their communities (for example, Yeminites, Kurdish, or Tunisian communities).

While most Jewish people would not use the word denomination to describe different communities or practices within Judaism, there are many groups practicing Judaism in Israel today. The most conservative are known as ultra-orthodox or hasidic. Then there are Orthodox, Conservative, Reformed and secular Jewish communities, even Messianic Jewish congregations.

In Israel, the Jewish denominations are basically the same as everywhere else in the world. There are several different versions of Orthodox including modern orthodox, cheradim, and lubavitch. There are conservative and reform Jews. There are reconstructionists and probably even Jews for Jesus. If the sect exists in Judaism, they generally have a presence in Israel.

Main Jewish denominations in Israel are the orthodox ones, including, for instance, Hasid and Misnagdim groups. Presence of such denominations as Conservative and Reform Judaism, popular in the United States, is rather limited.
