Abstract: is a documentary on this movement within Orthodox Judaism. The Hasidic ideal is to live a hallowed life in which even the most mundane action is sanctified. Hasidim live in tightly-knit communities centered around a rebbe, the community's political and religious leader. Most of the 200,000 American Hasidim live in NYC. This website provides the film script, reviews, a discussion forum, and 15 essays on Hasidism.
