Plural of chasid; multiple members of the Jewish Hasidic movement.
Hebrew plural of חסיד (chasid), formed by adding the masculine plural ending '-im.' The movement's name comes from the Hebrew root חסד (chesed) meaning 'kindness' or 'grace,' with the philosophy that pious devotion and joy are essential to spiritual life.
The transition from singular 'chasid' to plural 'chasidim' shows how Hebrew grammatical patterns persist even when the word is used in English—similar to how we say 'rabbi/rabbim' or 'kibbutz/kibbutzim'!
