>Befriend a JewThat's really it.
>What is OrthodoxyOrthodoxy means upholding Jewish law, more or less. Then you have a division typically between Modernists and Haredi.
>ModernistsStill follow Jewish law, but also believe in interacting with the non-Jewish world is beneficial. They typically follow customs that are observed in the nation, hold typical jobs, may attend secular universities.
>HarediBelieve that the non-Jewish world is inherently corrupting, or is simply not good for living a Jewish life. They will wear what is typical in their community, and will typically work only through Jewish connections or Jewish owned businesses.
Essentially, a good gauge is what they're wearing, and whether or not they'll shake a woman's hand. A modernist might shake a woman's hand, a Haredi won't.
Modernists have some divisions, but they're much more similar than different and thus don't warrant going into depth.
Haredi have divisions based on location, legal theories, Jewish mysticism, goal sets, etc.
>I know these guys and their house here. But how could I engage with them? Jews are all really closed off and shitHonestly? You really don't. They want Jews. Like their mission is to find Jews and bring them Jewish experiences.
You could ask them about Judaism. You could mention that you are interested in learning. You could fake being Jewish or claim to be a secular Jew, etc.
>never knew this Yes we mostly have Orthodox here. Good I guessYeah, temple in Orthodoxy is a reserved term for the one in Jerusalem.
