Reply To: What does Being Chassidish Mean to You?

Chassidus has in most part become a caricature of the ??? ???? ??. The definition of ?????? is ????? ????? ????, beyond the letter of the law. Chassidim also put greater emphasis on guarding the “fences” to protect Yiddishkeit (????? ?????, ????? ?????, ?? ???? ?????), as well as ???? ????, ????? ?’ ????? and ???? ?????. Rebbe-worship to the point of idolatry is just a gimmic to replace real chassidus. And of course there’s nothing chassidish about the couple walking down the avenue, he with shtreimel and bekeshe and she looking like a movie star.
