Satmar, Lubavitch, Breslov, Ger—why are there so many names in Hasidism, and what makes them different? In Overview of Hasidic Branches in 10 Minutes, we'll take a whirlwind look at the major dynasties that grew out of the Hasidic revival. Each traces its roots back to a rebbe with a unique style: Chabad-Lubavitch, known for outreach and philosophy; Satmar, fiercely protective of tradition; Breslov, centered on joy, song, and Rabbi Nachman's teachings; Belz, Ger, and others with their own distinct practices and communities. We'll explore what unites them—spiritual devotion, strong community life, and deep ties to a charismatic leader—while highlighting the flavors that make each group unique. Think of it as a family tree full of cousins who share the same roots but argue over everything from philosophy to prayer tunes. Ten minutes, many branches, and a window into one of the most vibrant parts of Jewish life today.
