All three terms for the "streams" of Judaism are off.
Orthodoxy:
Torah Observant Jews traditionally didn't call themselves Orthodox. The earliest known mention of the term Orthodox Jews was made in the Berlinische Monatsschrift in 1795. [This is mefurash on wiki and would wiki lie???] The word Orthodox was borrowed from the general German Enlightenment discourse, and used not to denote a specific religious group, but rather those Jews who opposed Enlightenment.
Today - No Orthodox Jew really cares about the enlightenment. [A related discussion of Orthodoxy]. Today "Orthodox Jews" care far more how they are going to pay all of their bills ["Orthodoxy" is EXPENSIVE!!!] and whether there is going to be a hot kiddush after shul on Shabbos than they do about Baruch Spinoza or Moshe Mendelsohn.
Conservative:
They wanted to conserve Judaism. They did anything but that as evidenced by the amount of assimilation, intermarriage and general erasure or watering down of Torah in that world.
Reform:
The word reform is defined as making changes in (something, typically a social, political, or economic institution or practice) in order to improve it.
Reform Judaism clearly did NOT improve Judaism. Judaism doesn't need improving. Jews do.
So there are really two groups - those who keep Torah and mitzvos and those who don't.
Within the first group there are as many sub-groups as there are members of the group. For each person keeps some mitzvos better and others less well or at times not at all. We are ALL guilty of ביטול זמן. That is against the Torah and Ratzon Hashem. All of our minds wander during davening. It is just a matter of how much. None of us have perfect middos. And the list goes on and on - much longer than our על חטא list.
Here is the hidden bracha - RIGHT NOW we can start [or continue] perfecting ourselves!!! 😊😊😊
