Conservative Jew
Traditional yet modern
A Conservative Jew is an adherent of Conservative Judaism, the branch of Judaism that occupies middle ground between Orthodox and Reform traditions.
Conservative Judaism maintains traditional practices and Hebrew liturgy while accepting modern biblical scholarship and some adaptation to contemporary life.
Many Conservative Jews observe Shabbat but drive to synagogue.
The movement is strongest in North America.
