The hasidic legend narrates that the Tzaddik pleaded before the Committee passionately, and often with tears in his eyes, not only to retain in the new schools the traditional methods of Bible and Talmud instruction, but also to make room in their curriculum for the teaching of the Cabala.
The Hasid drank, and in moderate doses at that, "for the soul," "to banish the grief which blunteth the heart," to arouse religious exultation and enliven his social intercourse with his fellow believers.
Hasidism and Tzaddikism were, so to speak, a sleeping draught which dulled the pain of the blows dealt out to the unfortunate Jewish populace by the Russian Government.

 Rav-SIG: Online Journal > The Hasidic Rabbinate, Part I
The great success of Hasidism, in contrast to the messianic movements all of which failed, was due to the fact that in Hasidism one could find spiritual salvation, while the movements of the false prophets promised physical salvation, mass aliyah to Eretz Yisrael and safety from attack, none of which they could deliver.
Hasidism, which challenged what had been the scholastic basis of rabbinic Judaism up to that time, replaced it with prayer and fervor.
The Hasidim emphasized the enthusiasm in the service of God as the Tzadik or Admor (head of Hasidic dynasty) was the spiritual leader serving as a 'technician' with Jewish law, while the others brought about a purposeful lessening in the status of the rabbinate.

Hasidic Judaism eventually became the way of life of the majority of Jews in Ukraine, Galicia, and central Poland; the movement also had sizable groups of followers in Belarus and Hungary.
In fact, Hasidic philosophy, especially the Chabad school, views all physical and psychological phenomena as relative and illusionary; God, the absolute reality in itself, is beyond all physical or even spiritual concepts and boundaries.
However, many Hasidic dynasties have their own specific adaptation of nusach Sefard; some, such as the versions of the Belzer, Bobover and Dushinsky Hasidim, are closer to nusach Ashkenaz, while others, such as the versions of Chabad-Lubavitch and Munkacz are closer to nusach Sefarad of the Arizal.
