Peeling vegetables on Pesach @Menachem it seems like that would, by definition, need to be sourced in Chabad Rebbeim. :) |

What happened to Chasidus? @HodofHod I disagree that such a change is not ideological, although I don't think a good and complete answer needs to address every aspect of the ideological shifts of Chasidus |

What happened to Chasidus? @avi it seems to me that mochin is saying it was a post-war shift. |

What happened to Chasidus? I think it's actually a Gemara that when you learn a tzadik's Torah he speaks the words with you, and also a Gemara that a tzadik isn't ever "dead". |

What happened to Chasidus? Thanks, I think the Rambam you bring sums up the ultimate answer to my question very nicely. I'll look at R' Paltiel's shiurim. I guess my question originally spurs from wishing we had a R' Levi Yitzchok, a R' Zisha, etc. in today's day and age. I think we need it desperately. |

What happened to Chasidus? @IsaacMoses this is totally fascinating to me, as the perspective in the Chasidishe communities with which I have been involved is that "misnagdim" still conduct themselves very differently from us. It's actually pretty heartening to me to hear that we are both drawing closer together and closing the gap, and that may be the ultimate answer to my question. Maybe a new question would be what each side is losing in doing so. |

What happened to Chasidus? @IsaacMoses is there a source or proof that a uniform levush comes from Chasidus and wasn't in the Litvish world before? Do Litvaks keep gebrukts? I thought they didn't davka. Glatt came from Sefardim, maybe? As for nusach Sefard... do people outside the Chasidishe velt really daven it? |

What happened to Chasidus? @HodofHod I'd love to hear you expand on this in an answer. |

What happened to Chasidus? Thanks, I'll have a look. L"M 54 if you're curious. |

What happened to Chasidus? Okay, now I'm curious because Rebbe Nachman zy'a also explains Modeh Ani according to Chasidus in L"M 54 (I think it's 54, anyway). I'll have to check this sicha out. I assume it's online somewhere... |

What happened to Chasidus? I agree with you 100% about Chabad and Breslev (maybe obviously, at least to me, since I'm a chosid of Rebbe Nachman who davens at a Chabad shul) and also about the seforim you mention (I would add Menoras Zahav and Toldos Yaakov Yosef to the list). It's interesting that the authors of those seforim didn't really found movements so much. Probably a whole other separate question. |

What happened to Chasidus? Incidentally, I didn't mean to suggest that early Chasidim didn't care about Halacha (c'v!). I gave a few extreme examples to illustrate the general principle that early Chasidus seemed to have - that any path that brought one to sincere Avoda was a good one. It seems to me that many Jews today who are frightened or overwhelmed by our Torah would benefit from such a notion, but how to reconcile it with the "anything goes, whatever makes you feel good" approach of modern heretical movements? |

What happened to Chasidus? This is a good answer, so maybe the second question is: does this generation need something of that "spiritual vibrancy" and how can that be reintroduced and delivered to the Jews who need it, especially those who r'l have fallen into (or grown up in) movements that are completely against our Torah? |

Why is the idea of sefirot not shituf? It always seemed to me that the first chapter of Moreh Nevuchim applied just as much to Kabbalistic concepts as it does to "btzelem". I am very far from being a mekubal, though, so I may be very wrong about that. |

What was the main subject of controversy between the Rabbis and Yeshu (Jesus)? @Maxood the Torah commands Jews to reject all false deities and false prophets. The individual to whom you refer was both, and nothing more. |

Godparents in Judaism @SethJ what's the difference from a Jewish perspective? |

What was the main subject of controversy between the Rabbis and Yeshu (Jesus)? There is a theory, too, which seems to me to make a lot of sense, that paul was a roman agent. |
