And I thought MY religious history was overly wordy....
Nice work,
Amanaduial. I'd rep you for it, but it appears that I've been stingy with my rep of late...

Well, I'm obviously no Jew, but I understand there to be (roughly) three basic kinds of Jew: Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform, with the Orthodox having the most old-fashioned, stricter interpretations, and the Reform being on the other end, and the Conservatives somewhere in the middle.
However, I'm sure Child or someone else will correct/build on that... and I'm not sure how Hassidic Jews fit in...
