Orthodox community
Strict religious group
An Orthodox community is a group united by traditional religious practice, most often referring to Orthodox Jews living in close proximity to share religious life—synagogues, kosher markets, ritual baths.
The term emphasizes collective observance: The Orthodox community raised funds for the new synagogue.
It can also describe Eastern Orthodox Christian or other traditionalist religious populations.
