Modern Orthodox Judaism (also Modern Orthodox or Modern Orthodoxy) is a movement within Orthodox Judaism. It tries to mix Jewish values from the halakha with the secular and more modern world.

Modern Orthodoxy can be found in different forms. In Israel, for example, Modern Orthodoxy is dominated by Religious Zionism. Although they are not the same, these movements share many of the same values and many of the same people following them.
