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.
