Movement, Lives On,

Hassidism, with its joyous glori-
fication of God . and His Law.
scoffed at 18th Century East Eu-
ropean Jewry's resignation to a
grim fate. With song and dance,-
it imbued the lives of the masses
with "hope reborn".
This "Legacy of Hassidism",
described by Maurice Samuel at
the Wednesday opening of the
Fifth Annual Midrasha Institute,
was much in evidence among the
survivors of the Hitler period, he
said. Instead of succumbing to a
hatred of humanity, these Jews
"rebounded with vigor."
Hassidism's message, Samuel
said, was that "It is a privilege
to be a Jew.. Judaism isn't the
htimp on your back; it's not
something to adjust to with a
sense of grievance."
"If -Hassidism has failed as a
movement," Samuel told his over-
flow audience, "it is still found
in democratic expression within
Jewish life", and it is found "in
the impulse to Zionism." Perhaps
its most valued bequest was its
literature.
Samuel defined Hassidism not
as a religious, but a sociological
movement, as the historian Dub-
now pointed out. It arose some
230 years "agoamid the 'disillu-
sionment and hopelessness of the
ignorant- Jewish masses of East-
ern Europe, and it received the
greatest impetus from the
"Besht", or Baal Sheri Toy.
To illustrate_ the role of the
Baal Shem's literary followers,
notably Nachman of Bratzlav,
Samuel read in Hebrew, Yiddish
and English a translation of
Bratzlav's "Seven Beggars".
Bratzlay, himself an intellectual,
appealed to the illiterate masses,
and in so doing, earned the en-
mity of the Mitnagim, or formal,
"classical Jews."
.(The Mitnagim also claimed
that the Hassidic worship of the
local "rebbe" deviated from Ju-
daism and resembled pagan, or
even, Catholic, means of worship.)
During the question and an-
swer session following his talk,
Samuel said no such mass move-
ment before or after has so stir-
red the masses as Hassidism. "It
spoke to them in their language,"
he said.
