Examples of people living in both worlds: Shumely Boteach, Jason Bedrick, Matisyahu, Dov Hikind. etc.. also (yosef Yitzhak Kazen).

I recomend watching: The Goan and the Maggid on YT by rabbichaimmoshe.

Last point: Hassidim and MO, Reform ETC, are Just Labels. WE ARE ALL JEWS, it depends on your level of observance/understand you stand on at your particular moment in life.

A jew is a jews is a jew, and our connection to G-D is all same and yet unique to one own abilities.

I think this is the most important point to remember. It is never right to label people. We are all unique in so many ways.

Labels are just an intellectual cop out people use to try to understand groups of people.

The same is true about judging a person by their garb. This is almost never accurate or reliable.

To really understand anyone, you have to sit down and talk to them.

Great point - I wish more people would discuss this topic more in the Jewish and secular world.

Piggy Backing on what you said. I think They do talk about this, at least in My circle. Why do you think Hassidim wear black clothes and all look a like With similar payot and beards? The clothes, particularly the color black and the beard represent humility and humbleness. Look at the Hassidim or Haredim at a whole (from a outsider's perspective) u notice that they all look the same, but u have to get to know a person by his personality and characteristic - the gem of the person.

[ronennachman770]

This is an excellent point that is often times lost in American society - we should be looking more at people's character traits and less at their appearance.

I still don't understand many things about American society...

ROFL. I'm sorry if I offended you. And I don't want to seem like the "politeness police" since I know that is a very strongly worded insult on the fourth-grade playground nowadays. He's dead, have some respect. -Please-

With a sarcastic cherry on top ^__^ Byee~~

@wafelsen look into the origin of chassidut.

are you Jewish or was your mother a shiksahasid?

[BrooklynNotQueens]

@wafelsen chabad is based on pagan-sourced witchcraft known as "chassidus" and is unrelated to anything in judaism.

chabad is known best for its support of corporal punishment and use of hookers by married chabad men to mitigate the stress of "family purity" laws.

I'm not sure that the differences between modern orthodoxy & chassidism are really as you describe. While chalav yisrael, pas yisrael & daily mikveh for men may be more prominent in the chassidic world, I doubt that anywhere near all hassidim do these things.

I see 3 major differences: 1) Secular studies 2) Religious Zionism (though diff hassidic groups view this diff) 3) Women's issues. Chabad is less diff from MO on these than most Hassidim.
