Conservative Judaism
None
Conservative Judaism is one of the major branches of Judaism and it allows for modifications in Jewish law when authorized by the Conservative rabbinate.
The Conservative Movement was formally organized by Dr. Solomon Schechter in 1913, although its roots stretch back into the 1880s.
According to Conservative Judaism, while the truths found in Jewish scripture and other Jewish writings come from God, they were transmitted by humans, and thus contain a human component.
Generally speaking, Conservative Judaism falls between Orthodox and Reform Judaism in terms of adherence to what is considered traditional Jewish law.
Today there are about 800 Conservative congregations worldwide, with some 1.5 million members.
