This movement began among non-Hasidic Jews as a response to the social changes brought about by The Enlightenment, and the corresponding Haskalah movement among many European Jews.

Despite this, Judaism in all its variations has remained tightly bound ...

Mussar Movement: Encyclopedia - Ethics in religion

Ethics is a branch of philosophy dealing with right and wrong in human behaviour.

Many believe that the Golden Rule, which teaches people to "treat others as you want to be treated", is the common denominator of all moral codes and religions. ...

Rabbis sometimes had other important administrative powers, together with the community elders. The rabbinate was the highest aim of many Jewish boys, and the study of the Talmud was the means ...
