Haredi or Charedi/Chareidi Judaism, also referred to as Ultra-Orthodox Judaism,[1]—though the term is considered pejorative by some—[2][3] is the most theologically conservative form of Orthodox Judaism. A follower of Haredi Judaism is called a Haredi (Haredim in the plural).
Haredi (חֲרֵדִי) is derived from charada, meaning fear or anxiety, which in this context is interpreted as "one who trembles in awe of God" (cf. Isaiah 66:2, Isaiah 66:5).[4]
Haredi Jews, like other Orthodox Jews, consider their belief system and religious practices to extend in an unbroken chain back to Moses and the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. As a result, they regard non-Orthodox, and some Modern Orthodox, streams of Judaism to be unjustifiable deviations from authentic Judaism.[5]
