	Belz (Hasidic dynasty) Totally Explained
		Belz, like Ger and Satmar, was comparatively fortunate in that its leadership remained intact and survived the war, as opposed to many other Hasidic sects which suffered losses both in terms of rank-and-file supporters, as well as the physical decapitation of their leaders.
		Rebbe Sholom Rokeach, the founder of the Belz dynasty, was a disciple of the Seer of Lublin.
		The Rebbe Elimelech was a disciple of the Rebbe Dovber, the Maggid (Preacher) of Mezeritch, the primary disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism.

		Ger, or Gur (or Gerrer when used as an adjective) is a hasidic dynasty originating from Ger, the Yiddish name of Góra Kalwaria, a small town in Poland.
		They are distinguished by their dark hasidic garb, and by their pants tucked into their socks called hoyzn-zokn (not to be confused with the breeches, called halber-hoyzn, worn by some other hasidic groups).
		Ger follows the way of the Kotzker in stressing serving God in a sharp and objective way rather than being mystical and spiritually oriented as in other hasidic sects, and in putting a lot of emphasis on studying the Talmud.

	Hasidism
		Common to all forms of hasidism is the belief that the established institutions of orthodox rabbinic Judaism are not enough.
		It is significant, for example, that the Besht, founder of the Hasidic movement, was not himself a rabbi.
		But as an important aspect of modern Judaism, the origins of Hasidism are to be traced to 18th century Poland and in particular to Israel Ben Eliezer or, as he came to be known, the Besht, an abbreviation of Baal Shem Tov ("Master of the Divine Name") (c.1700-1760).
