Why aren’t Hasidic studies being restricted?
peace,
I have been to various Seder yeshivahs, and there, on every shelf and every day, there are books and lessons in various Hasidic books such as Breslov, Chabad, the Covenant of Lublin, and so on.
But why don’t they explain from day one that **the entire** “world of Hasidism” is in grave doubt according to great Torah scholars?
For example, Wikipedia says (assuming what it says is correct):
The Gra opposed the Hasidic movement [21] due to various distortions he saw in it, which caused him to classify it as a sect and a movement that was imbued with impurity . As early as 1772 ( 1772 ), the Gra’s signature appears on the Vilna community’s boycott of Hasidism. In 1781 ( 1781 ), he imposed a boycott on it again. As part of the boycott, he refused to meet with the founding Rebbe of Chabad Chassidus , Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Ladi , and ordered the public burning of the book ” The Will of the Rivesh “.
Here you can find more sources for various opponents – http://jewishhistory.huji.ac.il/kuntress/Chassidiana/chassidiana.pdf
Why do I need to learn for years from sources that may even be “sucking from impurity”? And what is the rabbi’s opinion on the various Hasidic books / the Hasidic movement?
thanks
One might ask why they don’t explain that the books of Maimonides contain difficult problems and that Torah luminaries have come out against them? And what about the books of Kabbalah? Why does everything have to be explained to you? Whoever teaches it probably thinks it’s useful, and that’s why they teach. If you don’t think so – don’t study.
No source is sucked from impurity. All this nonsense is baseless demagogy.
My personal opinion is that Hasidic books do not contribute much and are usually plagued by vague definitions and unfocused discourse. In short, in my opinion, it is not very instructive. But this is my personal opinion, and there is little here of slander, impurity, and other delusions.
I didn't understand the sentences “No source sucks from impurity. All this nonsense is baseless demagogy”, “There are few sucking and impurity and other delusions”
Sucking and impurity are very basic concepts in Kabbalah. Don't you believe in Kabbalah at all?
Is impurity a concept from Kabbalah? You should try to skim through the five books of the Pentateuch. Recommended.
What does it have to do with belief or disbelief in Kabbalah? Does the fact that someone claims that a book they disagree with is imbued with impurity obligate everyone who believes in Kabbalah to accept it?
