There are a few other common Chasidic minhagim; can anyone cite the sources that justify them?
Examples:
“Nusach Sfard” or “Nusach Ari” tefillah.
No tefillin on Chol HaMoed. (Briskers, followers of the Vilna Gaon, and Sefardim also do not wear tefillin on Chol HaMoed.)
No gebrochts the first seven days of Pesach.
Eat only glatt meat. (Sefardim are even more machmir.)
Women don’t say kaddish in shul.
And of course the common Chasidic styles of dress.
“the first step – and this is a big one – is first to be a frum, ehlicher yid”
That should be true of all of us whether we are Chasidic or follow a different derech. Thank you for the informative post.
