Page "Relationships between Jewish religious movements" Paragraph 5

However, when dealing with the movement / philosophy, they perceive the generation of other denominations to have historically been engendered by heretical intent and the 1800s widespread denigration of religion.

They view Reform Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism and Conservative Judaism as heretical non-Jewish movements.

Some Haredi leaders have stated that Reform is philosophically further from authentic Judaism than Christianity and Islam.

As such, Haredi authorities have strongly fought attempts by the Reform and Conservative movements to gain official recognition and denominational legitimacy in Israel.

Haredi groups and authorities will not work with non-Orthodox religious movements in any way, as they view this as lending legitimacy to those movements.

The members of those movements who have been born of a Jewish mother are, however, still regarded as Jews.
