A modern stream of Judaism that arose out of intellectual
currents in Germany in the mid-19th century and took
institutional form in the United States in the early 1900s. It
is said by some that it is a good compromise between the
Orthodox and Reformed tradition. It is common in places
where there are small Jewish populations. |
