Chasidism

Chasidism is a Jewish spiritual movement that emerged in the 18th century, emphasizing piety, joyful worship, and emotional connection to God. It encourages followers to find divine presence in everyday life, fostering a personal and heartfelt relationship with God beyond strictly scholarly study. Chasidism also emphasizes community, humility, and adherence to traditional customs, often led by a Rebbe—spiritual leader and guide. Rooted in mystical teachings, it aims to inspire a joyful, passionate practice of faith that nurtures both inner spirituality and communal bonds.
