What are differences between Conservative Judaism and Orthodox Judaism?

In: Judaism [Edit categories]

Answer:

Key difference is the extent to which Jewish law (Halakhah) is changeable. Orthodoxy holds that Halakhah is essentially fixed and that the job of contemporary sages is to interpret it in light of changes in society, technology, etc. Conservative Judaism holds that Halakhah changes over time and the job of contemporary sages is to determine whether new halakhah is necessary to meet the changes.
