	Rosh Hashana kibbutz (Breslov) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Afterwards, Reb Noson explained to the other Hasidim that Rebbe Nachman had stressed the importance of the Rosh Hashana kibbutz that year because he wanted them to continue to "be with him" for the holiday even after his passing.
		Hasidim who emigrated to Israel established Rosh Hashana kibbutzim in Jerusalem and in Meron (the latter at the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai), which continue to this day.
		Hasidim from throughout Russia would contact him for details about each year's event, and he wrote letters to others, encouraging them to continue this practice of being with Rebbe Nachman for Rosh Hashana despite the long journey and the threat of government surveillance.

	Hats
		The Lubavitch Hasidim will turn down the rim in the front of their hats; it is said that the Rebbe wore his with a particularly noticable downturn.
		Hasidim who trace their origins to Hungary, mostly the Satmar, are more-or-less the only ones who wear flat hats.

		Months after the death of their beloved rabbi, the Lubavitcher Hasidim show signs of adjusting to life without Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whom many of the faithful had predicted would rise from the dead and proclaim himself the messiah.
		There was no talk of naming a successor to the grand rabbi or rebbe when more than 800 Lubavitcher representatives from around the world gathered in their headquarters in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn in October for their 12th annual convention.
		The Bratslaver Hasidim, most of whose members are in Israel, never picked a new leader after Rabbi Nachman, who thought he possessed the messiah's soul, died in 1810.

	A Life Apart: Hasidism in America -- A Brief Introduction to Hasidism
		Hasidim live in tightly-knit communities (known as "courts") that are spiritually centered around a dynastic leader known as a rebbe, who combines political and religious authority.
		The many different courts and their rebbes are known by the name of the town where they originated: thus the Bobov came the town of Bobova in Poland (Galicia), the Satmar from Satu Mar in present-day Hungary, the Belz from Poland, and the Lubavitch from Russia.
		But where the Amish are farmers in rural communities, the great majority of the approximately two hundred thousand American Hasidim live and work in enclaves in the heart of New York City, amid a number of vital contemporary cultures very different from their own.

		And, indeed, his vigor was impossible to discount as he led his hasidim into frenzies of song and dance during the gatherings that were the high point of every student visitation.
		One might rightly argue that the living presence of a rebbe is not required if one has recourse to his continuing instruction, but this is an intellectual argument; hasidic life relies, first and foremost, on the palpable interactions that bind troubled souls to the higher powers incarnate in the rebbe.
		For if it is true that Chabad (as the movement is widely known) relies on technology to spread its message as well as to keep effective track of its worldwide organization, it is even truer that the words, and image, of the Rebbe have always been at the very center of their elaborate technological web.

		Sefer Hasidim is one of the most important literary, social and religious documents of mediaeval Jewry.
		However in a large number of stories (above one hundred) of Sefer Hasidim the leading figure is 'the Hakham', a fictional-literary figure similar to that of the implied author in modern literature.
		This is, we suggest, a personification of the author of Sefer Hasidim, R. Judah the Pious himself.

	Hasidism.info -- a FAQ on Hasidism (Chassidism) Part 1-A of 3
		The main difference between Hasidim and the non-Hasidic Orthodox is that the Hasidim tend more toward mysticism and follow the teachings of a specific Rebbe, or saintly leader.
		For example, on one end of the spectrum, the Lubovitcher Hasidim (also known as Chabad) are strongly supportive of the state of Israel and totally against giving any land back to the Palestinians for any reason whatsoever.
		Hasidim may be small in actual numbers, but we have had a big impact on the Jewish community (and the whole world) in terms of Jewish education, music, stories, philosophy, prayer dynamics, rituals, etc. Even Reform synagogues regularly sing Hasidic tunes and tell Hasidic parables.

	Hasidim And Mitnagdim
		In their early years, the Hasidim were actively persecuted by the Mitnagdim, who feared they would become another heretical sect, similar to that of Shabbetai Zevi.
		With the passage of time, the Hasidim and Mitnagdim recognized that their differences were increasingly inconsequential, particularly after both groups found themselves facing a common enemy: the nineteenth century Haskala, or Jewish Enlightenment.
		As a result, Hasidim today are no longer regarded as revolutionaries; in fact, they are the conservative stalwarts of Orthodox Judaism, easily recognized by the eighteenth and nineteenth century fl coats and hats worn by most of their male adherents.

		In a public campaign, groups of Lubavitcher hasidim have declared that their leader, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson—affectionately known as “the Rebbe”—is the long-awaited messiah of the Jewish people—and this despite the fact that Rabbi Schneerson died in June 1994.
		For the Lubavitcher hasidim, this was a terrible time of testing, but for Friedman, as a sociologist of religion, it was an ideal moment to take the measure of Lubavitch.
		To the Chabad hasidim, the Rebbe’s advanced age and the absence of an heir has become a somewhat paradoxical basis for messianic faith: if the Rebbe has no heir, then he must have no need for one, for he is soon to reveal himself as the messiah, whom death cannot conquer.

		However, it is true that many Hasidim, especially in the New York City and Israeli communities, have a cultural aversion to dogs, and very few Hasidim in those communities keep dogs.
		Because a high percentage of Hasidim are Holocaust survivors or descendants of such survivors, these stories have become part of the family folklore and, sadly, are perpetuated as strong prejudices and phobias against dogs in general.
		There are also some Hasidim who maintain that our homes are like the Holy Temple, and, because dogs were not a species of animal that was sacrificed in the Jerusalem Temple, we should not bring dogs (or any other non-kosher animal) into our homes.

		When he composed this book, there was every reason to believe that the Hasidim who survived the genocide perpetrated by National Socialism would fall prey to Communism or, more slowly, to secular education and one or another form of democracy.
		The legends and folktales presented in Tales of the Hasidim are certainly extremely interesting and do possess general human interest, however, if we truly want to know what they meant in their original context we would still have to revert to the primary sources which Buber pushes aside as merely secondary.
		If we only keep in mind the fact that Buber's tales are interpretations only and are not necessarily representative of historical Hasidim, his folktales become interesting and charming not only to the literary community but also to anyone interested in studying a modern version of the Hasidic message.
