Frum (Yiddish: פֿרום, lit. 'religious', 'pious') is a word that describes Jewish religious devotion.
The term connotes the observance of Jewish religious law in a way that often exceeds its bare requirements. This not only includes the careful study of Torah, daily prayers, observing Shabbat and kashrut, and performing deeds of loving-kindness, but also many more customs and khumrot (prohibitions or obligations in Jewish life that exceed the requirements of Halakha).[1][2]
The term frum contrasts with frei (Yiddish: פֿרײַ, lit. 'free'), which describes Jews who are secular or practice non-Orthodox observance, or "free from keeping the… commandments."[3][4]
