Answer:
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.

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.

Did Peter the Great believe in the Divine Right of King?
His religion was Russian Orthodox Christianity. He had friends who were Catholic and Lutheran and attended a few services in the Lutheran church. He said he hated Jews more than Muslims but had 13 officers in his army hung when they were planning a pogram and hired Jews who would convert to Orthodoxy. He sent an atheist to Siberia because he said religion is the basis of an oath and without an oath there is no society. He had a girl friend and a wife who were Lutheran though the last converted on having their child. He certainly did not hate other religions and when told to burn all churches of the foreigners and throw them out of Russia on the deathbed of Joachim the head of the Orthodox Church, he went out and bought a "German" suit. He was supported as the Tzar by the Orthodox Church and had no reason not to practice the religion although he did make it subordinate to the government after the death of Adrian, the successor of Joachim.

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).
