Hasidim are ultrareligious Jews who meticulously observe Orthodox law setting them apart from most other Orthodox Jews. The Hasidic movement began in Eastern Europe as a populist reaction against a perceived remote and formal character of rabbinic leadership of the time. Hasidim are divided into a number of sects and communities: The Lubavitcher and Satmar groups are the largest sects and are located primarily in Brooklyn, New York. There is also a community of Hasidim in Montreal, Quebec.
