 sociology - Hasidic Judaism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hasidic Judaism (Hebrew: Chasidut חסידות, meaning "pious" from the Hebrew root word chesed חסד meaning "loving kindness") is a Haredi Jewish religious movement.
In fact, one of the most controversial innovations of Hassidic practice is the near-abolition of the traditional specified times of day by which prayers must be conducted ("zemanim"), particularly the morning prayer; the preparations for prayer, including partaking of food (also proscribed by strict halachic literalism) take precedence and may extend into the alloted time.
This teaching practically led to the contribution by the people of their last pennies toward the support of their tzaddik ("rebbe"), and the tzaddik untiringly "poured forth blessings on the earth, healed the sick, cured women of sterility," etc. The vocation of tzaddik was made hereditary.

The Mystical Judaism had been the domain of the extremely learned since the beginning (since after Moses died), until 300 years ago the Baal Shem Tov began teaching and making it accessible through understandable parables to the common Jew.
While Kabbalah brought man to God, Hassidism brought God to man. Kabbalah raised the initiate to the upper worlds, offering him a glimpse of the Holy Domain, along with its angels, emanations, vessels and luminations.
Hassidism, on the other hand, did just the opposite.

I am playing Reb Saunders, the father of the Hassidic boy, and the head of a Hassidic 'court' or sect that is particularly other-world-oriented.
I am fascinated by Saunders, by his faith, by his willingness to live within a severly circumscribed world in search of the richness of the ecstatic Kabbalist tradition that lies at the heart of Hassidic Judaism.
Yet I am frustrated--even repelled--by his xenophobia and his absolutism: he considers the world at large Amalek, a faceless, hostile gentile mass, and most Jews, even, [i]apikorsim[/i] lapsed traitors to the faith, because they do not follow precisely the strictures of the Torah and the Talmud as he and his sect have interpreted them.

I need a little education on the difference between Hassidic and Israeli music.
Well, Israeli music is the music of Israeli artists (like James Blunt is British), and usually it isn't connected to Judaism.
Hassidic music can be written by Jewish people from all over the world, but are connected to Judaism: the lyrics are either from the Bible, Mishnah, Talmud, etc., or lyrics that were written by someone, but they are about our religion in some way.
