Apparently it happens even between Reform and Orthodox/Hasidic/Haredi* Jewish groups as well, from anecdata I've read from people who've commented on internal divisions.

All Hasidic Jews are Orthodox but not all Orthodox Jews are Hasidic. Hasidism is a revival movement with strong mystical tendencies that center around a series of influential and charismatic teachers. The Haredim are the most conservative of Orthodox Jews, often called Ultra-Orthodox in English.
