Template:Welcome Judaism

From Safon.org

The primary cultural and linguistic framework is traditional Sefardí culture from Northwestern Europe, but Ashkenazí culture (especially in its Scandinavian variety) and Yiddish are also included. The long-term goal is to develop a relatively complete resource for those varieties of Judaism which are part of the history of Scandinavia and the neighbouring areas. The religious framework is traditional Rabbinic Judaism, including traditional-egalitarian Judaism. Even though this means that the point of departure on Hassafon is Masorti (Conservative) to Modern Orthodox Judaism, we aim to present all main denominations and movements within Jewish religion — from Progressive Judaism to Ḥaredí Judaism; and from Jewish Renewal to Karaite Judaism and Samaritan religion.

If you have general questions about Jewish religion and culture, then a good start would be to read this general introduction. The glossary may be a good place to look if you are searching for a specific word.
