A great of diversity exists among those who adhere to Judaism in North America. The four main branches include:

• Orthodoxy - upholds the halakhic (the legal aspect of Judaism) way of life as illustrated in a divinely ordained Torah.
• Reform (also known as Liberal or Progressive) - subjects religious law and customs to human judgment.
• Conservative - the largest denomination, seeks to conserve tradition by applying new, historical methods of study within the mainstream of American society.
• Reconstructionism - the most recent denomination, rejects the assertion that the Torah was given to Moses at Mount Sinai, views Judaism as a continual process of evolution.

In addition to the four main branches, there are several other Jewish movements. Moreover, there are many Jews that do not have a clear religious identity.
