AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

I have a really basic question.

What do some of the lesser known terms / labels in the flairs mean & is there a guide to the differences in philopsy, culture & practice?

If someone could point me towards a guide that would be really helpful in understanding this community more.

one thing i just realized bcz of this comment is one of the major denominations of judaism is missing, Reform. The three main denominations would be orthodox conservative and reform, and i put them in order of observancy. Reconstructionism has gained a lot of prominency but it’s pretty much only an american denomination and it’s pretty new comparatively. It’s also interesting bcz they have both masorti and conservative which are kind of the same thing. Mods if u see this maybe add a reform flair.
