Best Answer

Based on geographical origin, there are Ashkenazi, or Jews of Northern European origin, and Sephardim, Jews of Spain, Africa, and Asia.

Based on practice there are three main divisions of Jews-

Orthodox--strictly practice the laws as they understand them

Conservative--practice much of the traditions but adapted to modern life

Reform--encourage individual interpretations of the Torah and promote egalitarianism
