Jasidic refers to a branch of Hasidic Judaism, which emphasizes mysticism, spirituality, and a close-knit community. Originating in Eastern Europe in the 18th century, it was founded by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. The movement focuses on the joy of religious observance and the importance of a personal relationship with God. Jasidic communities are known for their distinctive customs, traditional dress, and vibrant religious practices. They often gather for communal prayers, celebrations, and teachings, fostering a strong sense of identity and belonging among their members. The teachings of Hasidic Rebbes play a central role in guiding their spiritual lives.
