I like when Chaim said Jewish is Jewish and he doesn't really believe in any of the made up denominations.  Of course the goal is to live life as in accordance with Torah Judaism.  I'm still far from perfect in this regard, but I don't want to call myself a Conservative or Reform Jew, just Jewish, and hopefully becoming more religious step by step.

Sorry if it has been done before, but I am relatively new to the forum. I am Jewish, raised in a conservative synagogue and far from a perfect Torah Jew. I am loyal to my people, however, as well as proud to be a Jew. I think that it should be the goal of this forum, first and foremost, to help the Jewish people.

Yes its B'nai B'rith symbol here in Victoria Australia. Just means the circle is uniting all Jews and Righteous Gentiles to the cause.

As the Children of Covenant.

We encompass both Australia and New Zealand, as well as being accredited at the UN, in New York and Geneva.

I chose OTHER. The most close to me is Noahide, though I cannot claim to be a pure Noahide since I differ in some interpretation of the Torah ( a pure Noahide is supposed to believe in all Rabbinics interpretations of the Law, besides doing the Sheva Mitzvot)

The real Judaism is Torah Judaism

Orthodoxy is simply more authentic version of Judaism...

Torah Judaism and "Orthodox" is the same thing.

My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

In thy power Almighty, trusting,
Did our fathers build of old;
Strengthen then, O Lord, their children
To defend, to love, to hold
That the heritage they gave us
For our children yet may be:
Bondsmen only to the Highest
And before the whole world free.
As our fathers trusted humbly,
Teach us, Lord, to trust Thee still:
Guard our land and guide our people
In Thy way to do Thy will.
