How does it differ from Deformed or CONservative?
Also what is Jewish Renewal?

I thought you were referring to the USA in the 1800s.

Another form of Avodah Zara
.   ד  עֹזְבֵי תוֹרָה, יְהַלְלוּ רָשָׁע;    וְשֹׁמְרֵי תוֹרָה, יִתְגָּרוּ בָם
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.

ה  אַנְשֵׁי-רָע, לֹא-יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט;    וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה, יָבִינוּ כֹל.   
5 Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

Renewal Judaism  ::) was founded by Zalman Schacter-Shalomi, he was a Chabad shaliach who became obsessed with new age spirituality after learning about Buddhism. He abandoned Torah and embraced various other religions to make his own.

Renewals are pretty much radicals who want to in some way identify as Jewish. They are a tiny fringe movement and tend to be extremely anti-Israel.

These are all lost causes.

There is only one true Jewish faith... It is Torah Judaism and expressed best through what is called Orthodox Judaism. There are many paths to Orthodox Judaism (they are not all the same) but those who abandon the Torah and it's teachings are cut off from the chain...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14
