Orthodox Jews are the ones that want to keep tradition. Reform want to change things.
Answer:
Orthodox Judaism, as we know it today, began in Germany in the 19th Century, as a response to Reform Judaism. Both Orthodox Judaism and Reform Judaism have greatly changed in the last 150 years. The actual difference is that Orthodox Jews maintain the binding nature of Jewish laws, ethics, etc., whereas Reform Jews focus on the ethics.
Answer:
Torah-observant Judaism dates back a few thousand years. Claiming or implying otherwise would be disingenuous and misleading. Originally it was simply called "Torah" or living by the Torah. Today it has the additional name of Orthodox Judaism. In its obedience to the Torah, Orthodox Judaism is unchanged.

Both Orthodox and Reform Jews have a deep-rooted attachment to G-d, Israel, and the Torah, though they interpret these things in different ways. Both use basically the same Hebrew prayers, though wording of some of them varies, and both are deeply committed to the principle of Tikkun Olam, or making the world a better place.
Answer
About 603 commandments. The Orthodox will try to follow every possible mitzvah (since some could only be preformed when the Temple was in existence). The Orthodox Jew will pray 3 times a day, keep the laws of Shabbat, and keep kosher. The Reform Jewish movement was created to modernize Judaism. A Reform Jew will use electricity on Shabbat, usually won't wear a tallit, tefillin, or kippah, and will call women up to the Torah. This doesn't mean the Orthodox are better, or less religious than reform Jews, it just means they have different outlooks.

∙ 10y agoThere are many similarities between Islam and Judaism. First of all, most of the Jewish prophets from the Torah are included in Islam, but the primary prophet in Islam is Mohammed. Sabbath days exist, but are different - Friday in Islam, Saturday in Judaism. Observant Jews pray several times a day, as do Muslims - the latter using prayer rugs. Neither group eats pork.These are a few similarities between the two religions.

∙ 8y agoTorah-observant Judaism dates back for a few thousand years. Originally it was simply called "Torah" or living by the Torah. Today it has the additional name of Orthodox Judaism.
Orthodox Jews believe that the Torah must be fully observed (Deuteronomy 13:5). They keep the laws of Judaism as codified in the Shulchan Arukh (Code of Jewish Law), which lists the laws of the Torah and Talmud. Torah-study is seen as very important (Deuteronomy 5:1); and the modern world is seen as subservient to the Torah (Talmud, Nedarim 32a), not the other way around.
Other Jewish groups (Conservative, Reform) are recent. They adapt, curtail or change the Torah-laws in contemporary life, to a greater or lesser degree.See also the Related Links.

∙ 8y agoThe fundamental difference between Orthodox Judaism and Reform Judaism is that Orthodox Judaism believes that only traditional Jewish sources and ethics may be followed, while Reform Judaism holds that it is permissible to use non-Judaic concepts to abrogate and modernize Jewish teaching and practice. As a result, Orthodox Jews are more traditional and have stronger faith in the literal history of The Bible, are more consistent in the following of Halakha (Jewish law), have greater participation in Jewish rituals, and an approach more consistent with the Jews of centuries past. Conversely, Reform Jews tend to be more modern, have a viewpoint along the lines of Western Liberalism, and see Jewishness as more of an ethnic or cultural identity than a set of tenets and rules to be lived and obeyed.

What similarities and differences do you find between the religions of Judaism?
Judaism is one religion. If the term "religion" is being used loosely to refer to sects, Judaism has only two major sects: the Torah Jews and the Liberal Jews. The main divisions between these sects is the ability to use non-Judaic source content to abrogate and modernize Jewish teaching and practice. Torah Jews believe that such things represent a deterioration of Jewish identity and purpose whereas Liberal Jews see Jewish Identity to be more internal or ethnic and the religious aspect to be secondary. As a result, Torah Jews believe Liberal Jews to have "lost their way" and Liberal Jews see Torah Jews as being antiquated and "out of sync" with the modern world. Regardless of whether a person is a Torah Jew or a Liberal Jew, that person may also practice rites derivative of his ancestral region such as Eastern European customs, Iberian customs, North African customs, etc. These customs do not affect other Jews as perceiving him as Jewish and these rites are all co-equal. Within the Torah Judaism Sect there are a number of movements distinguished by their level of integration with the non-Jewish World, their styles of prayer, and their level of conservatism. The Modern Orthodox are typically seen as the more liberal branch of Torah Judaism and typically wear Jewish paraphernalia (such as a Kippa and Tzitzit) although they will dress in a typical business-suit and work in Western companies. On the more conservative side are the Hasidim and Ultra-Orthodox who wear unique vestment at all times and are recognizable by their payyot (sideburn-curls). Within Liberal Judaism there are a number of movements also distinguished by their level of integration with the non-Jewish World, their styles of prayer, and their level of conservatism. At the most liberal are Secular Jews who may make Jewish foods and sing Jewish songs, but rarely attend synagogue services and do not perform the daily acts required of Torah Jews. In Liberal Judaism there is a question as to how much Hebrew and how much Vernacular should be used in a Synagogue Service. Conservative Jews, on the more conservative side typically prefer more Hebrew, whereas Reform Jews prefer more Vernacular. Liberal Jews are often well-acclimated to non-Jewish society and may have many non-Jewish friends and contacts.
What are similarities between Christmas and Hanukkah?
Any similarity would be the result of Christmas influencing Hanukkah. Because Christmas is such a big holiday, certain practices were borrowed by some Jews to celebrate Hanukkah, such as gift-giving and some decorating.But the traditional practice of Hanukkah has nothing in common with Christmas.It should be noted that Hanukkah as it is observed by Orthodox Jews is not influenced by Christmas at all.

Why might some Jews have chosen to change from orthodox tradition and become reform Jews?
Orthodox Jews are the people that want to keep tradition. Reform want 2 change things. I think that Orthodox Jews chose to break away from orthodox tradition and become reform Jews because they didn't like the whole tradition of orthodox Jews and all the rules they had to stick to such as observe all 613 laws as strictly as possible. So I think they changed so that they could have a bit more freedom from all these rules although there were still rules being reform Jews but at least if they change to reform Jews it changes (reform means change things).
