"Rabbi" is the term for a Jewish scholar or teacher, and by extension a religious leader.
Any descendant of Aaron is a Kohen (priest) in Judaism (Exodus ch.28-9). Today they number in the tens or hundreds of thousands.

Judaism does not have priests. The Jewish priesthood ended in the year 70 CE. modern people who are descended from the ancient priests are called "Kohen", but they do not act as priests today.

Prayer services in Judaism are often led by teachers, called "Rabbis" but they are not priests or holy people.
There have been no Jewish priests for over 1,900 years.

People who influence Jewish people are often called Rabbi -- or teacher.

Jews have not had any priests for more than 1,900 years, and Jews never had masses.

A Jewish worship service in a synagogue only needs ten adult Jewish males present. None of them needs to have any special qualifications or title in order for the service to proceed. However, the religious clergy in Judaism are the Rabbi, who sermonizes, and the Cantor, who leads prayer.

The head of Orthodox Judaism is known as the tzaddik?

There is no single head of Judaism. In classical times, there was the king, the Cohen Gadol (High Priest) and the head of the Sanhedrin (the greatest Torah scholar). Today, each Rabbi, greater or lesser, heads a particular community. The word 'Tzaddik' is a title meaning 'righteous'. Any person can become a tzaddik, they do not have to be a rabbi to do so.

Is progressive Judaism the same as reform Judaism?

No. Reform Judaism is a specific Jewish movement. It is one of the progressive movements, but Humanist Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism and the Jewish Renewal Movement each have a legitimate claim to being progressive, and even Conservative Judaism has a claim to the title. The distinction between progressive Judaism and liberal Judaism is more than a bit vague.
