abstract	Criticism of Conservative Judaism is widespread in the Orthodox Jewish community, although the movement also has its critics in other streams of Judaism. While the Conservative movement professes fidelity to Jewish tradition, it considers Halakha (Jewish religious law) to be a dynamic process that needs reinterpreting in modern times. The criticism by Orthodox Jews and traditionalists within the movement itself revolves around the following: * Conservative Judaism, or some of its decisions and positions, does not follow halakha, because: * The legal analyses of its rabbinate deconstruct or manipulate religious obligations, rather than being faithful to and fostering respect for them; * It hoists certain historical or cultural assumptions onto a law, then disavows the assumption, granting itself license to disavow the law itself; * It issues "emergency decrees" in the absence of legitimate emergencies, rather than following a legitimate, faithful, or reverential approach to halakha; * Its decisions consistently lead to more lax, rather than stringent or balanced observance; * It generally makes communal decrees through a council of (often lay) leaders, rather than relying exclusively on Talmudic scholars, resulting in decisions reflecting popular opinion rather than scholarship; and * Accommodating the values and likeness of the broader society has taken precedence over a dedication to the internal integrity of halakhic sources. Critics also claim that the legal analysis of the Conservative movement tends to be ideologically-driven, resulting in intended outcomes to such an extent that it is outside the bounds of traditional halakhic analysis.
