Timeline list of Hasidic leaders

This page lists Rebbe leaders of Hasidic Judaism, the popular mysticism revival movement begun by the Baal Shem Tov in 18th century Eastern Europe. It adapted esoteric Kabbalah to a new doctrine of social Tzadik leadership among the common Jewish folk, giving rise to different schools in Hasidic thought, from "General-Hasidism" to particular ideologies. From the early 19th century, leadership established into Hasidic dynastic courts, passed on to descendents. Without family contenders, leading students were accepted for leadership, or broke away to form new offshoots, especially in the proliferation of leadership practice in 19th century Poland. This lists central figures in Hasidism, which produced a very wide flourishing of leadership. Among these, only a select few are listed on the page Timeline List of Jewish Kabbalists (Hasidic section). Direct Kabbalistic study found a varying role among the different paths in Hasidism, which adapted Kabbalah to its own concerns of Divinity amidst materiality. Hasidism began in Podolia-Volhynia (present day Ukraine) and surrounding areas. The Carpathian Mountains arc up from Romania, through Ruthenia, into Slovakia, dividing the North-East European Plain from Hungary. There were two non-Hasidic East-European traditional Jewish communities: the Lithuanian Rabbinic opposition to Hasidism, led originally by the Vilna Gaon (1720-1797), and the Hungarian Oberlander Jews, led originally by the Hatam Sofer (1762-1839).
