Judaism
,

Judaism
holds

of how
Judaism
has
changed
in
response
to
circumstances
,
making
future
change
possible

adheres
to
traditional
Jewish
faith
,
such
as
belief
in the
divine
origins
of the
Torah

traditional
Jewish
ritual
practices
, and
attempts
to
synthesize
Jewish
tradition
with
modern
culture
and
ideas
