What are the main branches of Judaism and what are the differences between them?

Judaism is divided into 3 main branches, which are Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox, although there is a form of orthodox Judaism known as Hassidic Judaism which might be described as ultra-orthodox. Reform Judaism is a modernized version in which Jews do not have to wear special religious clothing (such as the skull-cap or yarmulka) except on special occasions, and in which the demands of the religion are relatively moderate. Conservative Judaism requires Jewish men to wear their religious head-gear at all times, and requires more ritual observance than Reform Judaism. Orthodox (or ultra-orthodox) Judaism makes no compromises with the modern world, insisting upon every traditional detail of Judaism as it existed earlier in history. Being an orthodox Jew could be described as a full-time occupation. It is a very demanding religion.

Who is the founder of judasism?

It depends on how strictly you define Orthodox Judaism. Orthodox Jews hold that their form of Judaism is the same form of Judaism practiced by the Biblical Patriarch Abraham. As a result, he is the Founder of Orthodox Judaism. However, Jews did not go around calling themselves "Orthodox" until Samson Raphael Hirsch coined the term in the 1800s as a response to the Liberal forms of Judaism (Reform and Historical-Conservative) that were contemporaneously developing.
