This website contains resources for the [[Anglo-Hareidi community]], as well as resources for those wishing to learn about or become part of that community. '''Haredi''' or '''Chareidi Judaism''' 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'' (fear, anxiety), which could be interpreted as "one who trembles in awe of God" (cf. Isaiah 66:2,5). 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 consider non-Orthodox denominations to be unjustifiable deviations from authentic Judaism, both because of other denominations' doubts concerning the divine revelation of the Written and Oral Torah, and because of their rejection of halakhic (or Jewish legal) precedent as binding.
