# Judaism Hasidism Movement

## Core Philosophy: The Immanence of the Divine
Hasidism (Chassidut) emerged in 18th-century Eastern Europe as a spiritual revival movement. Founded by Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer (the Baal Shem Tov, or Besht), it shifted the focus from purely intellectual Talmudic study to a heart-centered service of God.
