In the past 50 years, large families have become the emblem of #OrthodoxJews. If a
woman wears a wig, we expect she will have at least five children. If a man has eight
children, his shirt will be white and his yarmulka large. The number of children a
couple has is a public display of their #piety.
Several hundred ultra-#OrthodoxJews (#Haredim) clashed with Israeli police at the entrance to the army base in #TelHashomer. This is where the first draftees from this community were supposed to report on Monday. Previously, they had been exempt from service for years; now, they are speaking of a "#Holocaust of #UltraOrthodoxJews."

This video is probably the best summarization of the various Jewish denominations/branches, the history of Judaism, including the various geographic changes that lead to changes, belief structures, understanding of Judaism as different from Christianity, differences on observance, and more.
It's such a great explainer video, I highly recommend it!
