"For instance, when you see Jews walking to/from synagogue, they're usually conservative. Conservative keep kosher, fast on appropriate holidays, etc."

P No, those are Orthodox. "Conservative" Jews may or may not keep kosher at home, but will eat out at non-kosher restaurants, drive on Sabbath, etc. They call themselves "Conservative" because they are usually a step or two behind the liberal "Reform" denomination when it comes following the latest politically correct trend.

Um... no.

Orthodox do far more than just walk to sabbath. Conservative vs. Reform have NOTHING to do with politics. They have to do how closely one follows traditional Jewish law.

Au contraire, they worship political correctness and just decorate it with some Hebrew rituals.
