We don't want anyone to be surprised when visiting us or have expectations that we cannot meet.

Just to cover some basics of our "standards", here is a short list. 

• We do not live stream or otherwise use internet on Shabbos or Yom Tov. Nor to we drive or use any form of public transportation on Shabbos and Yom Tov. We do know of other groups who call themselves "orthodox" who do so but this is not standard orthodox practice.

• We never say the name of G-d and we only use a version (Ado...) of it in davening.

• We use the standard orthodox jewish calendar for holidays (you can find this on chabad.org.) - we are not Karites so if you are this is not the group for you

• We hold to a standard understanding of when Shabbos is. We don't hold to such made up practices as "Lunar sabbath"

• We hold to standard of the orthodox halacha in all matters as we hold to the authority of the sages.

• Gentiles are not obligated to keep the Torah (see pervious post on this) nor should they say they are Jews without conversion

• A Jew is a person who's mother is Jewish. A person who's father is jewish is not a halachic Jew, but has Jewish heritage but would be required to undergo conversion to be considered a Jew 8) Women do not wear Tizttizt and Tefflin ever.
