Do you know any sources that I can learn about the subclasses (branches?) of Judaism?

Hi anon,

Each of their respective websites are great resources.  The following organizations I personally consider to be the vibrancy that is Progressive Judaism.

Modern Orthodox (The Orthodox Union)

Conservative Judaism (The United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism)

Reconstructionist Judaism

Reform Judaism (The Union for Reform Judaism)

The World Union for Progressive Judaism (representing all Reform and Reconstructionist Congregations around the world)

“ReformJudaism.org” is a fabulous resource

Religious Action Center, the “social justice hub” of the Reform Movement

Jewish Renewal

If you have any further questions about the major branches, please do not hesitate to send me a private or direct message.

The Chief Rabbi has launched a range of groundbreaking video guides for the Jewish community today, at the offices of the United Synagogue. The guides, which were on show for the first time, are designed to make Jewish practice more accessible than ever before. They cover a variety of the most essential and widely observed parts of practical Judaism such as how to wear Tefillin (Phylacteries), how to say Kaddish (the memorial prayer) for a loved one and how to bless your children on a Friday night.  The range of Jewish Online Guides (JOG), of which there are currently 15, will be made available on the United Synagogue’s You Tube Channel, the You & Us website and on various social media platforms. 

See the attached video for Friday Night Kiddush as an example.
