Chasidish-Litvish Intermarriage

How does a non-Litvak become Litvish? Start pronouncing things like “Teyreh”? Get a Lithuanian passport?

LMA, I know of no such tradition.

I don’t know what happened 200 years ago, but in the last 100 years what you said certainly hasn’t applied. (And even before that there was no recruitment of frum Litvaks.)

Hundreds of years ago there was recruitment of the OTD to become frum via Chasidus. There was no recruitment of the already frum to become Chasidish. That being said, many frum people became Chasidush on their own volition, without having been recruited.

(As far as Lubavitch today I don’t know, but I am speaking of mainstream Chasidus anyways.)

shlishi; There were native Chasidic dynasties in the “Lite” (Litte). Of which there are very few left today. Such as “Kaidenov”, Slonim and Lechovitch. Today, however. As people of different groups live close to each other, the distinctions are slowly getting blurred. And the old rivalries being forgotten. Sadly, though, (Maybe, it should not be mentioned in the 9 days.) some people on the “Misnagdish” side, still retain a form of prejudice against “Chassidim”. (That’s my personal observation. MD.)

Being a chossid isn’t about what minhagim you keep or how you dress. Sadly in this day and age there are many who think being a chossid is their appearance and they put a lot of work into such. Meanwhile puting down others not as strict or who dress differently than them. Perhaps the same divide that existed between the scholars and simple people in Europe is the divide between levels of religious observance and perception of religious observance today? While there may be benefits to these minhagim and these modes of dress they do not actually express chassidus at all. Chassidus is something which must be learned and absorbed into ones character traits. Chassidus is taking the teachings from the Rebbe and like the baal shem tov who wrote in the letter we have from him… yafutzu m’yanois chutza which will bring moshiach. So to answer your question as to how will their children turn out? That depends on the parents decision as to what type of education they will receive and upon the child as he/she grows older as to how they will liver their life

I’m litvish hand wanna marry/become chasidish

What makes you litvish? Why do you wanna be chasidish?

@wannabechassidish be my guest

i said i dont wanna b chasidish lol

I’m not clean clean shaven no but i didn’t mean me specifically

He’s the welcome wagon for chasidish nk

One question why would a lady want to become chassidish?

For men it’s good for women I don’t really know

i like a lot of things about chassidish, but also i dont like some things, like men not being able to shave for example.

i agree men should be able to shave and not have to shave their whole head off i was becoming chasidish and starting to do everything chasidish and wanted to marry a chasidish guy and guess where that led me to almost going otd so i think ill be yeshivish for right now:) and listening to not jewish music is okay for me because of i dont want to become overly frum and almost go otd so no thanks

voos epes – no thank you i think ill stick the yeshivish people

it was too frum for me

well for me their is and for many others there is as well

yep:)

I have 2 sons who are full clothed chasidim. My family is chasidish on all sides. Both these sons married Litvish family girls. BH the girls took on our chasidish minhagim because that’s the halacha.

I too wouldn’t mind marrying chassidish…

This topic question doesn’t make sense.

Ashkanazi, sephardi, chabad — same ocean, different boat.

I know a nearby place that has all three shules in one building.

I have seen charedi ashkanazis impressed with some chassidic rebbe’s Torah discourses they read.

The ashkanazi vs sephardi and ashkanazi vs chabad is old cobweb from our parent’s and grandparent’s days. Kids today don’t give a garden of fig trees what you are.

I know plenty of sephardi/ashkanazi couples. Chabad/ger tzedek couples. etc

It traditionally goes by the husband – women only do a fraction of the requirements men do. What does it matter if they have a sephardi accent from india if their husband and kids went to a chabad school?

And finally, it doesn’t matter what you are. If both parents are sephardi and the only proper religious school is a chabad one —> your children will grow up chabad. It’s what school they go to, what fridnds they hang out with.

@shopping613 I guess I’m in high demand 😉

it doesnt matter which minhag we follow were still all jews:) were all one nation:)
