How would you define/describe a Chassidic Woman?

Did that apply to all Levi'im or to those who would be serving in the Mishkan?

Ok motek, read this whole thread Shocked

, now I'm even more confused if thats possible

Maybe all the "my rebbe/rabbi is better than yours" part of this thread takes away from the clarity cuz I did find a few posts that were very clear and informaive and well explained amid the mess yet it left me feeling lost.

Interestingly enough my very well known high school teacher (you all heard of her huband for sure) taught us the whole history of the beginning of the chassidic movement (thats what she called it and she is very frum chassidish) and she only told us that its main purpose was to get the jewish uneducated masses educated and more practicing religion. She told us that the approach was thru ahava/love.

In all honesty I cannot say that I see any difference between any type of jew who is on a really high madrega, not just rabbis but kids, adults, families.

Still don't get it, I'll try reading the other thread you mentioned.

To answer the origoinal question,

I think a chossid lady is a women who is on a very high level and I think a chissidish lady is one who belongs to a group called chassidim and really all chassidim should be a chossid.
What do you think?

I think you're taking her post way out of context. She wasn't comparing gedolim, but was pointing out that Lubavitch women relate differently to their Rebbe than non-Lubavitch Chasidic women...the Lubavitcher Rebbe IS one of the only Rebbeim (I don't know of any others) who ever really related personally to women. What's wrong with that?

And obviously a person thinks her Rebbe is greater than everyone else's--otherwise why would she consider him to be her Rebbe? Obviously there's something special about her Rebbe that gives them a connection.

I don't know how to describe a Chassidic woman.
There are all different kinds. Some that are obviously Chassidic by their behavior or the way they dress while others are Chassidic because their husbands wear a shtreimel on Shabbos.

I admit that I too think of the differences between Chasidic and Litvak based on external modes of dress, adherance to one Rebbe, different chumras from mine, separation from secular/non jewish society/institutions. All and all, Chassidishe people I have met do not seem all that different, besides the superficial differences. But then, maybe it is because I never had the opportunity to get to know any of them on a deeper level.
