AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document

This document, based on a 1960-1961 field study of the Satmar Hasidim of Brooklyn, N.Y., presents a brief historical sketch of the circumstances that gave rise to Hasidim in Eastern Europe in the seventeenth-eighteenth centuries, and then turns to an analysis of '…two behavior clusters that seem to have characterized practically all Chassidic [Hasidic] communities of the last two centuries, though with minor variations in actual form and relative emphasis ' (p. 139). These behavior patterns are discussed in detail in the text as a clue to the lasting viability and wide appeal of the Hasidic movement.
