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, more modern world.

There are different forms of Modern Orthodoxy. In Israel, for example, Modern Orthodoxy is dominated by Religious Zionism.[source?] Despite not being the same, these movements share many of the same values and many of the same people following them.[1]
