Abstract Hasidim are Jews who observe Orthodox law so meticulously that they are set apart from most other Orthodox Jews. Hasidim are divided into a number of sects and communities, each organized around a particular religious leader. The Lubavitcher and Satmar groups are the largest sects and they are located primarily in Brooklyn, New York. There is also a communtiy of Hasidim in Montreal, Quebec. This file contains 34 documents and includes information on several of the sects and on communities in the United States and in the Montreal area. There is a strong focus on Hasidim in Brooklyn, New York, primarily of the Lubavitcher and Satmar sects. The time period covered is from ca. 1950-1990.
