Description

Ein sehr gutes Exemplar. - Englisch. // Der moderne oder osteurop�che Chassidismus (auch Hassidismus; von hebr�ch chassidut, chassidus �Fr�mmigkeit�) ist eine j�dische religi�s-mystische Str�mung und Teil des ultraorthodoxen Judentums. Die Anh�er, genannt Chassidim bzw. Chassiden, organisieren sich in Gruppierungen oder Dynastien, geleitet von deren F�hrern, genannt Rebbes. 2016 gab es �ber 130.000 chassidische Familien weltweit und mehr als 230 Rebbes. . (wiki) // . The Museum has also been proud over the years to present temporary exhibitions that tell the stories of specific Jewish communities through their material culture. These communities once thrived in geographies as far apart as Morocco, Alsace, Yemen, and India. � The latest exhibition in this series, A World Apart Next Door: Glimpses into the Life of Hasidic Jews, is a unique endeavor in that its subject, not restricted to a single geography or history, reflects a large, visible, global, and growing community of the present. While the exhibition highlights important objects and other forms of documentation from the revered past of the Hasidic movement, begun in Eastern Europe some two hundred and fifty years ago, its main focus is on the distinctive ways of life and equally distinctive material cultures of the Hasidim today. In particular, Hasidic dress is a world unto itself - filled with historical resonance, spiritual meaning, and social significance - and a key witness to the evolving diversity of this community and perhaps a symbol of what makes this story so special. .
