The main responsibility of a Hibernate SessionFactory is to create and manage Sessions.
The main responsibility of a Hibernate Session is to provide a CRUD interface for mapped classes, and also access to the more versitile Criteria API.
Really, it's more difficult to find commonalities than it is to find differences between these two classes...
Have a look at the API documentation.

Yet confused with this ...Will you please make it a little simple for me....

I don't understand the things like

CRUD interface

[Paul Sturrock]

CRUD = Create, Read, Update and Delete. Or the basic operations of any database.

The Hibernate JavaDocs explain it quite well.
