Who Will Lead Us: Hasidic Dynasties in America

Hasidism, a movement many believed had passed its golden age, has had an extraordinary revival since it was nearly decimated in the Holocaust.

Hasidic communities, now settled primarily in North America and Israel, have reversed their losses and are growing exponentially. Join us, with scholar Samuel Heilman, to explore the fascinating story of five contemporary Hasidic dynasties, their attachment to mysticism, community, as well as tradition, and their handling of the delicate issue of leadership and succession.
