Home›Hasidic Dynasties›PolityBrowse ByPolityThis page groups religious orders by how they are governed. Wikipedia notes that "the Benedictines, Cistercians, and Trappists have autonomous abbeys (so-called 'independent houses')," each self-governing rather than centrally directed. Browsing by polity lets a visitor compare a centrally governed order against one built from independent houses.FactsPolitySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligious Orders 1PolityFilter Results1 entryWho may joinAllHereditary or Lineage-Based (1)Open to All Genders (1)Kind of orderAllHasidic Dynasties (1)Originated InAllBelarus (1)Hungary (1)Moldova (1)Poland (1)Romania (1)Ukraine (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1815 (1)TraditionAllHasidic Judaism (1)Doctrinal PositionAllHasidic Devekut / Tzaddik Veneration (1)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (1)ApostolateAllContemplative or Monastic Prayer (1)Liturgical LanguageAllHebrew (1)Yiddish (1)Ordination PracticeAllHereditary Tzaddik Succession (1)Rooted InAllHasidic Judaism (1)Show ResultsGuru Lineage PolityPolity33 entriesSources1.
