ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Open Orthodoxy

"Open Orthodoxy" is a type of Orthodox Judaism where some rabbis and leaders are looking to make changes in some traditional rules and customs. They believe that Judaism can adapt to the modern world and should be more inclusive to people of different backgrounds and beliefs.

It's like when you play a game with your friends and you decide to change some of the rules to make it easier or fairer for everyone. Some people agree with the changes and some don't, but they all still want to play the game.

In this case, "Open Orthodoxy" is still part of the bigger Jewish family, but they have some different ideas about how to practice and live their religion. It's like having different flavors of ice cream - some people like vanilla and some people like chocolate, but they all still enjoy ice cream.
