    The three basic forms of Jewish worship are orthodox, conservative and reform. Within those are some subdivisions.

    If you would like to learn more about jewish life and beliefs in an entertaining way, I suggest the Rabbi Small books by Harry Kemmelman. The series started with Friday the Rabbi Slept Late and continued for 6 other books, one for each day of the week. The books center around Rabbi David Small the rabbi for a fairly affluent temple in a Boston suburb. Rabbi Small uses Talmudic logic and teachings to solve crimes. So the books are mysteries, but within the books you find a lot teaching about Jewish life and beliefs.
