For the past 200 years, the big question dividing the Jewish world has been: "How do we deal with the changes in the modern world." The changes include emancipation of the Jews (Jews are now full citizens almost everywhere), separation of church and state, the rise of science, the end of legal discrimination, ease of travel, emancipation of women, and much much more. The Reform movement emerged early and embraced change, large numbers of Jews responded that they were changing too quickly, and came to be labeled as Orthodox. Conservative Judaism emerged next, trying to find a middle way. Withing Orthodoxy, Hassidic groups insisted the fewest changes, while the Modern Orthodox make no changes to Jewish law but happily accept the benefits of modernity.

How did Jesus create a division from Judaism?
AnswerThere was no division of Christians from Judaism during the time attributed to Jesus, or for some decades afterwards. The final split seems to have come in the 90s of the first century CE, when Christians were barred from attending the synagogues. The principal reason appears to be that the Christians had begun to blame the Jews for the death of Jesus - even Jews who were not present in Jerusalem or who were not even alive at the time.
