Chassidim Are One Family

Chassidim Are One Family Achdus Gatherings Held In Crown Heights So three chassidim got together – rabbi gedalyah shemtov, director of the shluchim office, rabbi zalman liberow, the rebbe’s shliach in flatbush, and rabbi mendel hendel, director of the world chabad center to greet moshiach – and started organizing “ achdus gatherings” specifically among chassidim with leadership positions on both sides. A chassid is someone who relates to the soul of a thing rather than to its body, to its inner essence rather than its external manifestations. thus a chassid is a revolutionary. looking from the outside in, “reality” is the way things are. looking from the inside out, reality is the way things are supposed to be.

The first issue is what did the alter rebbe want with the ‘ways’ of chassidim? the answer: that chassidim should be like one family according to torah. the famous adage of the mitteler rebbe says, that when two chassidim talk to one another about serving the divine, they are two g dly souls against one animal soul. A follower of this movement is called a “ chassid ” (or hassid), which is loosely translated as “pious one” or “one who goes beyond the letter of law.”. however, the term itself predates the chassidic movement and can even be found in the tanach. 1. in the talmudic era, a number of sages are referred to as chassidim, “pious ones.”. The teachings of the chassidic masters are not exclusively esoteric and kabbalistic. kabbalah speaks in abstractions comprehensible only to the most elevated soul. chassidut can do that as well, but it also speaks in down to earth, pragmatic terms for the everyman in his everyday world. chassidut is not a conglomeration of ideas, but one simple.
