Reply To: Chassidus

DY: How is it a contradiction? Chassidim believed the best connection (indeed, the only connection) is through D’veykus. They said that learning Torah did not lead to the proper D’veykus, so they told people to stop learning, and do other things that lead to D’veykus, such as daven. I don’t see the contradiction.

Unless you thought “should not do it” referred to the D’veykus? It actually referred to learning Torah. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
