	Neo- - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neo- is a prefix, derived from Greek that connotes a "new" or recent form of something, or a revival in a modern form.
		In distinguishing between forms that are sections of a continuum, neo- is simply contrasted with palaeo-, thus:
		It is understood as an intrinsic element of the reformulation, that an identity or continuity with the older form that is being revived is asserted as an essential part of the new one:

		Elimelech of Lezhinsk affirmed belief in Tzaddikism as a fundamental doctrine of Hasidism.
		Hasidic Jews, like many other Orthodox Jews, have a reputation for producing large families; the average Hasidic family in the United States has 7.9 children.[http://www.aish.com/jewishissues/jewishsociety/Jews_and_the_Jewish_Birthrate.asp] Many sects follow this custom out of what they consider a Biblical mandate to 'be fruitful and multiply', and to replenish a Jewish population badly decimated during the Holocaust.
		Hasidic women wear clothing of less distinctive appearance than that of their male counterparts, but which answers to the principles of tzeniut (modest dress in the sense of Jewish law).

	Neo-Hasidism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neo-Hasidism is a name frequently given to the significant revival of interest in Hasidic Judaism on the part of non-Orthodox Jews in different decades due to the writings of non-Orthodox teachers of Hasidic Judaism like Martin Buber, Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Arthur Green.
		Following WWII, when the Hasidic centers of Central and Eastern Europe were decimated, some of the surviving communities relocated to America, creating new opportunities for American Jews to have direct experience with them, their practices and their beliefs.
		Several of Heschel's students at JTS during the turbulent 60's and early 70's eventually became involved in the embryonic Havurah movement, a loosely defined project of creating an alternative, informal type of Jewish community first proposed by Reform theologian Jakob Petuchowski in the 1960s.

	The Hasidism of Martin Buber (Rexroth)
		Hasidism is an ecstatic religious movement which resulted from the impact of popular Kabbalism on the folk culture of the eighteenth-century Polish ghetto.
		All “neo” religions are cults of desperation in a time of human self-alienation and social disintegration.
		In this way Hasidism, after all its colorful and emotional detour, returns to be at one with the most orthodox mystery of Judaism — the seed of Israel.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: Literature of and on Hasidism
		Buber is the founder of neo‑Hasidism, the attempt to apply Hasidic teachings to the religious life of Western man. It has to be noted, however, that Buber largely ignores the Hasidic works of doctrine and relies mainly on the Hasidic tales, which he retells to suit his own I and Thou philosophy.
		Hasidism from the beginning saw great value in the stories told by the Hasidim of the mighty deeds of the Rebbes.
		Generally speaking, while Kabbalistic vocabulary is maintained in these classical works, they cannot really be considered to be in the older Kabbalistic tradition since the masters interpret the Kabbalah, as they do the Bible and the Talmud, in the spirit of Hasidism.

		The leaders of the movement were Samuel ben Kalonymos, the Hasid; Judah ben Samuel, the Hasid of Regensburg (his son); and Eleazar ben Judah of Worms.
		All these men were members of the Kalonymos family that had migrated from Italy, imbued with knowledge of occultism and versed in Kabbalistic traditions connected with the mystical contemplation of “the throne of God” (merkava, literally, “chariot”; Ezekiel 1).

	Intellectuelle: Finding Neo
		Neo used to only be followed by politan, but since a certain film broke him out of the ice cream matrix, his diverse following has grown to include politicians, philosophers, religious scholars, racists, and hi-tech toys, just to name a few.
		neo = a prefix derived from Greek that means new or recent, or in a modern form.
		Before Neo broke up with Politan, Rocky ditched Road for his decade of stardom, and Vanilla has had countless brushes with fame, most of them unseemly.

	Course Descriptions - Me'ah Graduate Institute
		Hasidism was a revolutionary movement that began in eighteenth-century Eastern Europe and still reverberates throughout the entire Jewish world.
		In this context we will explore how Chabad Hasidism transforms itself in the face of the destruction of European Jewry into both a force for "return to Judaism," and an adversary of the assimilation of modern Jewry into its surrounding environment.
		Hasidic Masters brought Jewish mysticism to the people and brought the cosmic complexities of Kabbalah down to the inner workings of the human psyche.

	Tales of the Masters
		To some critics, neo-Hasidism is nothing more than an appropriation of Hasidic literature and language atop a 'spiritual' lifestyle that has more in common with self-help and the 1960s than with traditional Judaism.
		This is why Hasidism was so successful, and why neo-Hasidism is so appealing, as well: They unite the spiritual search with the day-to-day business of living.
		In Rose's book of spiritual practices, the commentary is more freewheeling, consisting of Rose's explications of the practices in their theological and cultural contexts, together with texts from other sources that illuminate the teachings inside.

	Jews seeking mystical revival
		Among the people who have adapted elements of Hasidism to their own spirituality is Rabbi Michael Paley, a UJA-Federation executive and former chaplain at Columbia University who was a panelist at a session on contemporary neo-Hasidic ethics.
		There was a presentation on the place of food in Hasidism, and one on cabala, the esoteric philosophy developed by rabbis and embraced by many so-called New Age Jews.
		But to many other Jews, he said, the Hasidic movement, which traces its roots to the mid-18th century in Poland, is becoming increasingly popular and influential for its literature, music, meditations and ecstatic devotional life.

	Velveteen Rabbi: Defining Renewal
		I've heard Renewal described as "feminist neo-Hasidism," and there's some truth to that; we draw both on feminism's social and political shifts, and on the mystical, joyful passion of the Hasidic world.
		Renewal is a grassroots, transdenominational approach to Judaism which seeks to revitalize Judaism by drawing on the immanence-consciousness of feminism, the joy of Hasidism, the informed do-it-yourself spirit of the havurah movement, and the accumulated wisdom of centuries of tradition.
		I've also heard Renewal described as "Jewish Unitarian Universalism," and there's some truth to that too; we espouse a post-triumphalist religious sensibility and an understanding that there are many paths to the one God.

		It is a kind of neo-Hasidism, in that it seeks the spiritual renewal of Judaism, but "neo" because it insists on full equality for women and a creative return to the process of transforming Hallakhah (Jewish law) so that it continues to be a living path to connection to God.
		The philosophy of Jewish Renewal is articulated best in the theological writings of Abraham Joshua Heschel (see particularly The Propehts and God In Search of Man and Man Is Not Alone) and Zalman Schachter Shalomi (Paradigm Shift), Arthur Waskow (Down To Earth Judaism, GodWrestling) and Michael Lerner (Jewish Renewal: A Path to Healing and Transformation).

		It is probably true to say that, for most of its adherents, Orthodoxy means simply that one's own true religious traditions are followed, whether Hasidic or Mitnagdic [that of opponents of Hasidism in the eighteenth century and beyond], Ashkenazi or Sephardi.
		Orthodoxy also takes issue with Conservative Judaism which, unlike Reform, does accept the Halacha but perceives it in a more dynamic fashion, according to which changes are legitimate if they are in the spirit of the Halacha.
		Orthodoxy is less an organized movement than a reaction to other groups.
