Hasidism
Question
The mashpia in the yeshiva where I study gave a long talk yesterday (I didn’t understand all the pilpul, but in the end) and came to the conclusion that everyone should continue to belong to the Hasidic group they were born into, etc.
Is that also the Rabbi’s view, and is there any basis for that or for the opposite?
Thank you.
Answer
Nonsense. It’s better not to belong to any Hasidic group, because it’s just empty mind-numbing confusion. But if someone nevertheless sees value in it, then let him choose the Hasidic group whose color and sock length appeal to him most.
