Boyarin suggests that this in part reflects the fact that much of Judaism's more than 3,000-year history predates the rise of Western culture and occurred outside the West (that is, Europe, particularly medieval and modern Europe). During this time, Jews experienced slavery, anarchic and theocratic self-government, conquest, occupation, and exile. In the Jewish diaspora, they were in contact with, and influenced by, ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, and Hellenic cultures, as well as modern movements such as the Enlightenment (see <a href="/wiki/Haskalah" title="Haskalah">Haskalah</a>) and the rise of nationalism, which would bear fruit in the form of a Jewish state in their ancient homeland, the Land of Israel.

A Jew can fulfill most requirements for prayer by himself. Some activities—reading the <a href="/wiki/Torah" title="Torah">Torah</a> and <i><a href="/wiki/Haftarah" class="mw-redirect" title="Haftarah">haftarah</a></i> (a supplementary portion from the Prophets or Writings), the prayer for mourners, the blessings for bridegroom and bride, the complete grace after meals—require a <i><a href="/wiki/Minyan" title="Minyan">minyan</a></i>, the presence of ten Jews. </p><p>The most common professional clergy in a <a href="/wiki/Synagogue" title="Synagogue">synagogue</a> are: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Rabbi" title="Rabbi">Rabbi</a> of a congregation – Jewish scholar who is charged with answering the legal questions of a congregation. This role requires ordination by the congregation's preferred authority (i.e., from a respected Orthodox rabbi or, if the congregation is Conservative or Reform, from academic seminaries). A congregation does not necessarily require a rabbi. Some congregations have a rabbi but also allow members of the congregation to act as <i>shatz</i> or <i>baal kriyah</i> (see below). <ul><li>Hassidic <i><a href="/wiki/Rebbe" title="Rebbe">Rebbe</a></i> – rabbi who is the head of a <a href="/wiki/Hasidic_Judaism" title="Hasidic Judaism">Hasidic</a> dynasty.</li></ul></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hazzan" title="Hazzan">Hazzan</a> (note: the "h" denotes <a href="/wiki/Voiceless_pharyngeal_fricative" title="Voiceless pharyngeal fricative">voiceless pharyngeal fricative</a>) (cantor) – a trained vocalist who acts as <i>shatz</i>. Chosen for a good voice, knowledge of traditional tunes, understanding of the meaning of the prayers and sincerity in reciting them. A congregation does not need to have a dedicated hazzan.</li></ul> <p>Jewish prayer services do involve two specified roles, which are sometimes, but not always, filled by a rabbi or hazzan in many congregations. In other congregations these roles are filled on an ad-hoc basis by members of the congregation who lead portions of services on a rotating basis: </p> <ul><li>Shaliach tzibur or <i>Shatz</i> (leader—literally "agent" or "representative"—of the congregation) leads those assembled in prayer and sometimes prays on behalf of the community. When a <i>shatz</i> recites a prayer on behalf of the congregation, he is <i>not</i> acting as an intermediary but rather as a facilitator. The entire congregation participates in the recital of such prayers by saying <i>amen</i> at their conclusion; it is with this act that the <i>shatz's</i> prayer becomes the prayer of the congregation. Any adult capable of reciting the prayers clearly may act as <i>shatz</i>. In Orthodox congregations and some Conservative congregations, only men can be prayer leaders, but all <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Judaism" class="mw-redirect" title="Progressive Judaism">Progressive</a> communities now allow women to serve in this function.</li> <li>The Baal kriyah or <i>baal koreh</i> (master of the reading) reads the weekly <a href="/wiki/Torah" title="Torah">Torah</a> portion. The requirements for being the <i>baal kriyah</i> are the same as those for the <i>shatz</i>. These roles are not mutually exclusive. The same person is often qualified to fill more than one role and often does. Often there are several people capable of filling these roles and different services (or parts of services) will be led by each.</li></ul> <p>Many congregations, especially larger ones, also rely on a: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gabbai" title="Gabbai">Gabbai</a> (sexton) – Calls people up to the Torah, appoints the <i>shatz</i> for each prayer session if there is no standard <i>shatz</i>, and makes certain that the synagogue is kept clean and supplied.</li></ul> <p>The three preceding positions are usually voluntary and considered an honor. Since the <a href="/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment" title="Age of Enlightenment">Enlightenment</a> large synagogues have often adopted the practice of hiring rabbis and hazzans to act as <i>shatz</i> and <i>baal kriyah</i>, and this is still typically the case in many Conservative and Reform congregations. However, in most Orthodox synagogues these positions are filled by laypeople on a rotating or ad-hoc basis. Although most congregations hire one or more Rabbis, the use of a professional hazzan is generally declining in American congregations, and the use of professionals for other offices is rarer still. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg/220px-Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg/330px-Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg/440px-Jewish_scribe_writing_the_Torah.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4469" data-file-height="3373" /></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/Yemenite_Jews" title="Yemenite Jews">Yemeni</a> sofer writing a torah in the 1930s</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Specialized_religious_roles">Specialized religious roles</h3></div> <ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/Beth_din#Officers_of_a_beth_din" title="Beth din">Dayan</a></i> (judge) – An ordained rabbi with special legal training who belongs to a <i><a href="/wiki/Beth_din" title="Beth din">beth din</a></i> (rabbinical court).

It originated in a time of persecution of the Jewish people when European Jews had turned inward to Talmud study; many felt that most expressions of Jewish life had become too "academic", and that they no longer had any emphasis on spirituality or joy. Its adherents favored small and informal gatherings called <a href="/wiki/Shtiebel" title="Shtiebel">Shtiebel</a>, which, in contrast to a traditional synagogue, could be used both as a place of worship and for celebrations involving dancing, eating, and socializing.<sup id="cite_ref-205" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-205"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>204<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Ba'al Shem Tov's disciples attracted many followers; they themselves established numerous Hasidic sects across Europe.

As some have put it: <i>"they merely re-emphasized that which the generations had lost"</i>. Nevertheless, early on there was a serious schism between Hasidic and non-Hasidic Jews. European Jews who rejected the Hasidic movement were dubbed by the Hasidim as <a href="/wiki/Misnagdim" title="Misnagdim">Misnagdim</a>, (lit. "opponents").

A parallel Jewish movement, <a href="/wiki/Haskalah" title="Haskalah">Haskalah</a> or the "Jewish Enlightenment", began, especially in Central Europe and Western Europe, in response to both the Enlightenment and these new freedoms. It placed an emphasis on integration with secular society and a pursuit of non-religious knowledge through reason. With the promise of political emancipation, many Jews saw no reason to continue to observe <i>halakha</i> and increasing numbers of Jews assimilated into Christian Europe. Modern religious movements of Judaism all formed in reaction to this trend. </p><p>In Central Europe, followed by Great Britain and the United States, <a href="/wiki/Reform_Judaism" title="Reform Judaism">Reform (or Liberal) Judaism</a> developed, relaxing legal obligations (especially those that limited Jewish relations with non-Jews), emulating <a href="/wiki/Protestant" class="mw-redirect" title="Protestant">Protestant</a> decorum in prayer, and emphasizing the ethical values of Judaism's Prophetic tradition. <a href="/wiki/Modern_Orthodox_Judaism" title="Modern Orthodox Judaism">Modern Orthodox Judaism</a> developed in reaction to Reform Judaism, by leaders who argued that Jews could participate in public life as citizens equal to Christians while maintaining the observance of <i>halakha</i>. Meanwhile, in the United States, wealthy Reform Jews helped European scholars, who were Orthodox in practice but critical (and skeptical) in their study of the Bible and Talmud, to establish a seminary to train rabbis for immigrants from Eastern Europe. These left-wing Orthodox rabbis were joined by right-wing Reform rabbis who felt that <i>halakha</i> should not be entirely abandoned, to form the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Judaism" title="Conservative Judaism">Conservative movement</a>. Orthodox Jews who opposed the Haskalah formed <a href="/wiki/Haredi_Orthodox_Judaism" class="mw-redirect" title="Haredi Orthodox Judaism">Haredi Orthodox Judaism</a>. After massive movements of Jews following <a href="/wiki/The_Holocaust" title="The Holocaust">The Holocaust</a> and the creation of the state of Israel, these movements have competed for followers from among traditional Jews in or from other countries. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Spectrum_of_observance">Spectrum of observance</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg/220px-The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="342" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg/330px-The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg/440px-The_National_Library_of_Israel_-_The_Daily_Prayers_translated_from_Hebrew_to_Marathi_1388495_2340601-10-0007_WEB.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1413" data-file-height="2197" /></a><figcaption>Judaism is practiced around the world.

Retrieved <span class="nowrap">15 June</span> 2006</span>. <q>Paul was motivated by a Hellenistic desire for the One, which among other things produced an ideal of a universal human essence, beyond difference and hierarchy. This universal humanity, however, was predicated (and still is) on the dualism of the flesh and the spirit, such that while the body is particular, marked through practice as Jew or Greek, and through anatomy as male or female, the spirit is universal. Paul did not, however, reject the body—as did, for instance, the gnostics—but rather promoted a system whereby the body had its place, albeit subordinated to the spirit. Paul's anthropological dualism was matched by a hermeneutical dualism as well. Just as the human being is divided into a fleshy and a spiritual component, so also is language itself. It is composed of outer, material signs and inner, spiritual significations. When this is applied to the religious system that Paul inherited, the physical, fleshy signs of the Torah, of historical Judaism, are re-interpreted as symbols of that which Paul takes to be universal requirements and possibilities for humanity.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Introduction&amp;rft.btitle=A+radical+Jew%3A+Paul+and+the+politics+of+identity&amp;rft.place=Berkeley&amp;rft.pages=13-38&amp;rft.pub=University+of+California+Press&amp;rft.date=1994&amp;rft_id=info%3Alccn%2F93036269&amp;rft.isbn=978-0-520-08592-3&amp;rft.aulast=Boyarin&amp;rft.aufirst=Daniel&amp;rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.cdlib.org%2Fxtf%2Fview%3FdocId%3Dft7w10086w%26chunk.id%3Dintroduction%26toc.depth%3D1%26toc.id%3Dintroduction%26brand%3Ducpress&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AJudaism" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-A_radical_Jew:_Paul_and_the_politics_of_identity10-117"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-A_radical_Jew:_Paul_and_the_politics_of_identity10_117-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFBoyarin1994" class="citation book cs1">Boyarin, Daniel (1994). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=ft7w10086w&amp;chunk.id=ch10&amp;toc.depth=1&amp;toc.id=ch10&amp;brand=ucpress">"Answering the Mail"</a>. <i>A radical Jew: Paul and the politics of identity</i>.

One of these was the Confessing Church, a Protestant denomination formed in May 1934, the year after Hitler became chancellor of Germany. One of its goals was to repeal the Nazi law "which required that the civil service would be purged of all those who were either Jewish or of partly Jewish descent." Another was to help those "who suffered through repressive laws, or violence." About 7,000 of the 17,000 Protestant clergy in Germany joined the Confessing Church. Much of their work has gone unrecognized, but two who will never forget them are Max Krakauer and his wife. Sheltered in sixty-six houses and helped by more than eighty individuals who belonged to the Confessing Church, they owe them their lives. German Catholic churches went out of their way to protect Catholics of Jewish ancestry. More inclusive was the principled stand taken by Catholic Bishop Clemens Count von Galen of Munster. He publicly denounced the Nazi slaughter of Jews and actually succeeded in having the problem halted for a short time.…Members of the Society of Friends—German Quakers working with organizations of Friends from other countries—were particularly successful in rescuing Jews.…Jehovah's Witnesses, themselves targeted for concentration camps, also provided help to Jews.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=book&amp;rft.btitle=Heroes+of+the+Holocaust&amp;rft.pages=24-25&amp;rft.pub=Twenty-First+Century+Books&amp;rft.date=2001&amp;rft.isbn=978-0-7613-1717-3&amp;rft.aulast=Gottfried&amp;rft.aufirst=Ted&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fisbn_9780761317173&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AJudaism" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Wigoder1988-219"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Wigoder1988_219-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFWigoder1988" class="citation book cs1">Wigoder, Geoffrey (1988). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=9N9RAQAAIAAJ&amp;pg=PA87"><i>Jewish-Christian Relations Since the Second World War</i></a>.

Missionaries such as the Southern Baptist Robert Lindsey noted that for Israeli Jews, the term <i>nozrim</i>, "Christians" in Hebrew, meant, almost automatically, an alien, hostile religion. Because such a term made it nearly impossible to convince Jews that Christianity was their religion, missionaries sought a more neutral term, one that did not arouse negative feelings. They chose <i>Meshichyim</i>, Messianic, to overcome the suspicion and antagonism of the term <i>nozrim</i>. <i>Meshichyim</i> as a term also had the advantage of emphasizing messianism as a major component of the Christian evangelical belief that the missions and communities of Jewish converts to Christianity propagated.

The rise of Messianic Judaism was, in many ways, a logical outcome of the ideology and rhetoric of the movement to evangelize the Jews as well as its early sponsorship of various forms of Hebrew Christian expressions. The missions have promoted the message that Jews who had embraced Christianity were not betraying their heritage or even their faith but were actually fulfilling their true Jewish selves by becoming Christians. The missions also promoted the dispensationalist idea that the Church equals the body of the true Christian believers and that Christians were defined by their acceptance of Jesus as their personal Savior and not by their affiliations with specific denominations and particular liturgies or modes of prayer. Missions had been using Jewish symbols in their buildings and literature and called their centers by Hebrew names such as Emanuel or Beth Sar Shalom. Similarly, the missions' publications featured Jewish religious symbols and practices such as the lighting of a menorah. Although missionaries to the Jews were alarmed when they first confronted the more assertive and independent movement of Messianic Judaism, it was they who were responsible for its conception and indirectly for its birth. The ideology, rhetoric, and symbols they had promoted for generations provided the background for the rise of a new movement that missionaries at first rejected as going too far but later accepted and even embraced.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=bookitem&amp;rft.atitle=Chapter+20%3A+The+Rise+of+Messianic+Judaism&amp;rft.btitle=Evangelizing+the+chosen+people%3A+missions+to+the+Jews+in+America%2C+1880%E2%80%932000&amp;rft.place=Chapel+Hill&amp;rft.pages=223&amp;rft.pub=University+of+North+Carolina+Press&amp;rft.date=2000&amp;rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F43708450&amp;rft.isbn=978-0-8078-4880-7&amp;rft.aulast=Ariel&amp;rft.aufirst=Yaakov+S.&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3Dr3hCgIZB790C%26pg%3DPA223&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AJudaism" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-UMJC-3-239"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-UMJC-3_239-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151020172143/http://www.umjc.org/what-are-the-standards-of-the-umjc/">"What are the Standards of the UMJC?"</a>. <a href="/wiki/Union_of_Messianic_Jewish_Congregations" title="Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations">Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations</a>.

Retrieved <span class="nowrap">18 August</span> 2010</span>. <q>To convert to the Jewish sect of HaDerech, accepting Yeshua as your King is the first act after one's heart turns toward HaShem and His Torah—as one can not obey a commandment of God if they first do not love God, and we love God by following his Messiah. Without first accepting Yeshua as the King and thus obeying Him, then getting circumcised for the purpose of Jewish conversion only gains you access to the Jewish community. It means nothing when it comes to inheriting a place in the World to Come....Getting circumcised apart from desiring to be obedient to HaShem, and apart from accepting Yeshua as your King, is nothing but a surgical procedure, or worse, could lead to you believe that Jewish identity grants you a portion in the World to Come—at which point, what good is Messiah Yeshua, the Word of HaShem to you? He would have died for nothing!...As a convert from the nations, part of your obligation in keeping the Covenant, if you are a male, is to get circumcised in fulfillment of the commandment regarding circumcision. Circumcision is not an absolute requirement of being a Covenant member (that is, being made righteous before HaShem, and thus obtaining eternal life), but it is a requirement of obedience to God's commandments, because circumcision is commanded for those who are of the seed of Abraham, whether born into the family, adopted, or converted....If after reading all of this you understand what circumcision is, and that is an act of obedience, rather than an act of gaining favor before HaShem for the purpose of receiving eternal life, then if you are male believer in Yeshua the Messiah for the redemption from death, the consequence of your sin of rebellion against Him, then pursue circumcision, and thus conversion into Judaism, as an act of obedience to the Messiah.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.btitle=Do+I+need+to+be+Circumcised%3F&amp;rft.pub=JerusalemCouncil.org&amp;rft.date=2009-02-10&amp;rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fjerusalemcouncil.org%2Farticles%2Ffaqs%2Fdo-i-need-to-be-circumcised%2F&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AJudaism" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-MJSelfID-242"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-MJSelfID_242-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://jerusalemcouncil.org/halacha/giyur/jewish-conversion/">"Jewish Conversion – Giyur"</a>. <i>JerusalemCouncil.org</i>. 2009<span class="reference-accessdate">.
