Is it better to be Chassidish or Litvish?

This is a very very silly question. What you should be is an Oved Hashem. All the rest is nahrishkeit.

The question is what comes first Torah or avodah. The Litvish hold that Torah brings to avodah whereas the chassish hold that avodah betaharah brings to the burn to learn Torah. The best is to be a chassidish litvak which instills the burning for Torah.

Someone came to a litvishe gadol telling him, I don’t have time to learn. He told him to learn mussar and then you will find time.

Why now Oberlander or Yekkish?

Litvaks and Chassidim aren’t the only two games in town among Askenazim.

What do you call a non Chassid?

Some people use the term Litvak. However, that leaves something to be desired, as there are Chassidim that are of Litvak roots. Chassidic groups such as Karlin, Slonim, and Lubavitch, are of such background. And there are misnagdim that are of non Litvish background as well. On the other hand, some prefer it, as it sounds sort of neutral, non-threatening, and non confrontational. It just means that the person comes from Lita, where the standard form of Judaism was not Chassidic. Some people use Litvish instead of Litvak, Litvish meaning that they follow the way of Lita, even if not from there or that background.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, stated that there are no Misnagdim today, just ניט חסידים . What he meant with that claim was that some non Chassidim today don’t really actively oppose Chassidism, or know why they are not part of it. They just know that that is not their background.

Although that is incorrect (Misnagdim still exist and they cannot be wished away, even if a Chassid would like to imagine that they don’t exist), there is something to that.

The last term, Misnaged, clearly indicates that a person is opposed to Chassidism.

Best is to be a Yeksfardichasid

that way you only have to wait 3 hours after meat, you can eat kitnyos during pesach and and never sa y tachanun

For sure to be Chassidish. Would you rather serve Hashem out of love or fear? Would you rather dance on shabbos or sing slow durge, slow songs? Would you rather look like a goy or a jew? Be Chassidish it is the best way to be a happy Jew.

Your name is chassidish613 why would you be againts your own kind

Uncle Ben,
I currently am doing this during Limudai Chol.

“…out of love or fear? ”

Ironic isn’t it
other religions and other denominations make Similar about us

Don’t mistake soberness for what you think it is
the French Ernest renan and the British Carlisle both stated
in 19th century that religious jews seem to lack of sense of humour

“Would you rather dance on shabbos or sing slow durge, slow songs?”
אז ימלא שחוק פינו
הזורעים בדמעה ברינה יקצורו

“Would you rather look like a goy or a jew?”

what is preferable
stressing externals or stressing real substantial internal growth
even assuming this dubious claim has basis

ITFT, I heard a joke where a grandfather dies considerably younger than his grandson, so when they get resurrected as they died, they will say that, he is the grandfather who looks substantially younger, will make us laugh .

The Noda Beyehuda says about saying שם יחוד that we can say צדיקים ילכו בם וחסידים יכשלו בם.

The chassidish pronounciation iof ee over oo is a problem because it does not distinguish between male and female. How does a chassidish cow go? mee mee instead of moo moo.

Reb Eliezer shlita: That isn’t a “chasidish pronunciation”; it is the same pronunciation used by the Chasam Sofer and other Oberlander Yidden. And that havara predates the existence of the chasidim,

joseph you can add chaim berlin to the equation
they dont fit the mold of what a litvak is exactly

srugim: Rav Yitzchok Hutner ZT’L shtams from Gerrer Chasidim.

Joseph is correct.

In Chasan sofer they taught what you would call “chasidshe havarah” with the exception of tzeiri that was pronounced as in play not as in high

The Maosdorfer Rav z”l pronounced it this way too ((i’m reffering to Rav Simcha Bunim Ehrenfeld z”l not his father z”l)

The sugya of nason hee veamor hee was very confusing

Chasan Sofer became chassidish. The Viener Rav,. Rav Lebovits, ztz’l also my rebbe, pronounded it as ee chassidish. The yeshiva also turned chassidish. You are right . It ia confusing. It proves there should be a difference, so I say it like the german uber. No mistake is made in laining by the chassidim. The litvishe say oo.
I also learned by Rav Simcha Bunim ztz’l but I don’t remember his pronunciatiion.

Start out Litvishe then as you grow up become Chassidishe!
I see some people do very well in this Mehalech.

It is Time: Rav Hutner wore a Spudik like Gerrer’s.

Besalel: What’s the stira (contradiction) between what you mentioned and what I mentioned? They’re two pieces of the same puzzle.

Moshiach will be a Misnaged. Why?
Because if he’s a chossid then the misnagdim won’t accept him but if he’s a misnaged the chassidim will still accept him as long as he finally comes

If you are watching the live webcast of the kiynus of Chabad Shalichim being held tonight, you might subscribe to the notion that for a few hours we are all chassidim. Some of the stories of the incredible work of these shiluchim around the world are incredible and uplifting.

Yoel, something in your question is trolling. You didn’t come here to find out if you should be the serious learner or serious maikeler. Seems you came to bring something else to the table. Either way, BE A GOOD JEW! BE NICE TO OTHERS AND SEEK TO HELP OUT THOSE IN NEED! Then you will be a chassid, litvak, simple man or whatever you wanna be.

I’d vote for the Yekke’s.

Unless Oberlander’s are more your cup of tea.
