It's easy to think no Jews are religious about it. It's largely a secular identity, a cultural inheritance, a brand identity, a Zionist outlook, a victim card status, a self-identified choice, a diet, a bid for Tay-Sachs and other incestuous disease states, even a race to some with subraces (like impure-nonwhites the dreaded Mizrahi, Latin Sephardi, and outcaste Ethiopian and Meshuchrarim). Mostly, today, Judaism is just AshkenaziEuropeans clinging to a story, a narrative, a justification for being God's chosen people and the smartest in the world, with completely-unbiased IQs to prove it.
So who are the Hasidim? There are Orthodox Jews, and then there are Ultra-Orthodox Jews. There are the good guys like Neturei Karta (nkusa.org) and weird tunnel builders in Jesse Jackson's Hymie Town, aka Brooklyn (New York City synagogue tunnel incident), home of the beloved JuBu Beastie Boys, engaging in white slavery, patriarchy, sodomy, rape, abductions, kidnapping, Epstein-style sex trafficking, who knows for sure?
Meta's Zuckerberg will not stand for free speech
There's a lot of hanky-panky in the illegal shafts and caverns dug out for unknown purposes. There are many accusations, but the community is so well connected, rich, and powerful that police fear to investigate too closely for fear of being labelled "antisemitic" or biased. They will reluctantly look the other way or file reports that go nowhere because higher-ups know better than ruffle the feathers of a very litigious donor class. Then there's the whole Chabad (Habad)-Lubavitch movement and that Jewish welfare town in New York.
What is Hasidism (Hasidic Judaism)?
Everyone should study Hebrew and Talmud
Hasidism (Hebrew חסידות, Romanized Ḥăsīdūt) or Hasidic Judaism is a religious movement within Judaism that arose in the 18th century as a spiritual revival movement in contemporary Western Ukraine before spreading rapidly throughout Eastern Europe. Today, most in the movement, known as Hassidim, reside in the Zionist ethnostate of Israel and its servant state the USA, and to a lesser extent in Canada, the UK, German Argentina, and Belgium.
I vow to Make Israel Great Again (MIGA)
Israel Ben Eliezer, the "Baal Shem Tov," is regarded as its founding father, and the Patriarch's disciples disseminated it. Today's Hasidism is a sub-group within Haredi Judaism and is noted for its religious conservatism and social seclusion. Its members aim to adhere closely both to Orthodox Jewish practice – with the movement's own unique emphases – and the prewar lifestyle of Eastern European Jews.
Many elements of the latter, including various special styles of dress and the use of the Yiddishlanguage, are nowadays associated almost exclusively with Hasidism. Hasidic thought draws heavily on LurianicKabbalah and, to an extent, is a popularization of it. Teachings emphasize their tribal God's immanence in this universe... More
