Haredi Judaism, often referred to as ultra-Orthodox Judaism, is a branch of Judaism that emphasizes strict adherence to traditional Jewish law and customs. Haredi communities prioritize religious study, observance of the Torah, and maintaining a lifestyle that separates them from modern secular society. Haredi Jews often dress in distinctive clothing, such as black hats and long coats, which reflect their commitment to tradition. They typically live in close-knit communities, where they support one another in religious practices and education, often sending their children to yeshivas for intensive study of religious texts.
