Plural of Hasid; members of the Hasidic Jewish movement, typically observant Jews who follow Hasidic teachings and practices.
Hebrew plural of 'hasid,' meaning 'pious ones.' The Hebrew plural '-im' ending is retained in English when referring to the traditional community.
The Hasidim survived the Holocaust with remarkable resilience, and today's Hasidic communities—particularly in Brooklyn, Jerusalem, and other cities—maintain traditions that are nearly identical to those of 18th-century Europe.
