refimprove date October 2010 Jews and Judaism sidebar denominations Cultural Judaism , often confused with Secular Judaism , is a stream of Judaism that encourages individual thought and understanding in Judaism. Its relation to Judaism is through the history, culture, civilization, ethical values and shared experiences of the Jewish people. Cultural Jews connect to their heritage not through religious beliefs but rather through the languages, literature, art, dance, music, food, and celebrations of the Jewish people. It is a pillar in the ideologies of Habonim Dror . Example The following is an example of how a Cultural Jew would approach a particular custom or law in Judaism, in this example kashrut ref http www.habodror.org.uk documents CJprint.pdf Cultural Judaism Chover , Habonim Dror United Kingdom, retrieved October 9, 2006 ref Go back to the source s and find out why it is done. If you agree with what the source s are saying and therefore find meaning in the practise, then kashrut has just become not only a meaningful Jewish practise in your life, but has also caused you to look deeper into Judaism and probably helped strengthen your Jewish identity. If the source doesn t appeal to you, can you find an alternative Jewish source to help you out with another way to practise some form of kashrut? Is there a non Jewish source that could help you out with your dilemma? If the whole practise is devoid of meaning, or you are against the practise for any reason then don t do it any more. But at least you will have enriched your Jewish knowledge and hopefully your Jewish identity.The implications of the choice are these If your family decided to change their Shabbat activity from a Friday night.

Image Synagogue Budapest.jpg thumb 300px Doh ny Street Synagogue , Budapest Neolog Judaism is a mild reform movement within Judaism , mainly in Hungarian language Hungarian speaking regions of Europe, which began in the late 19th century. The reforms were comparable to the more traditional wing of U.S. Conservative Judaism . At the time of its founding, the Orthodox Jews in these regions were opposed to all modern innovations, so even these modest reforms had led to sharp organizational separation. Communities that aligned with neither the Orthodox nor the Neologs were known as the Status Quo . In the nineteenth century, the Neolog Jews were located mainly in the cities and larger towns. They arose in the environment of the latter period of the Austro Hungarian Empire , a generally good period for upwardly mobile Jews, especially those of modernizing inclinations. In the Hungarian portion of the Empire, many Jews nearly all Neologs and even some of the Orthodox adopted the Hungarian language , rather than Yiddish , as their primary language and viewed themselves as Hungarians of Jewish religion . In the era of Communist Hungary after World War II, the government forced Orthodox and Neolog organizations there into a single organizational structure, albeit with a semi autonomous Orthodox section. However, all three denominations Orthodox, Neolog and Status Quo have resumed their separate existences in the post Communist period. The secular Jews nowadays, concentrated especially in Budapest, and representing the majority of the relatively small Jewish community of Hungary, are generally better connected to the Neolog institutions, sometimes also to the more Orthodox ones of the Habad hassidim .
