[nqgfxxdy] Orthodox

Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism, Reform Judaism.  Or, as the Orthodox Jews call it: Jewish, not Jewish, not Jewish.

Orthodox Blues Dancing, Alt Blues, Fusion.  Or, as the Orthodox blues dancers call it: Blues, not Blues, not Blues.

Identical arguments about how diverging from orthodoxy offensively disrespects the historical struggles that shaped and defined the religion or dance form.  What is actually going on?  What is the underlying commonality?

In Israel, the conflict between Orthodox versus not is (in part) about political power: e.g., who is highest on the totem pole, who gets to perform (and define) marriages, whose religious education is important enough to warrant being excused from military service.
