NeoHasid.org was launched on the 10th anniversary of the first Chasidic egalitarian minyan, which Rabbi David Seidenberg founded in 1995, to help people integrate Chasidic customs, learning, and nusach into new contexts. NeoHasid.org is dedicated to the memory of Maidi Katz, who was a devoted participant in that minyan.

לעילוי נשמת עזריאל גודל בן אפרים הלוי וידידיה for my father
| You are listening to me sing—with a sore throat—Shirat Ha'asavim, "The Song of the Grasses". My sore throat may not go away in time to re-record before Tu Bishvat so I figured I'd just share the song now. Click to pause and to restart: | |

The real issue of our age is how we make a graceful and ethical descent from the energy peak. ~ David Holmgren
O God, who makes, forms, creates, and emanates the highest worlds! You made the trees and grasses grow from the ground in the shape and pattern of these highest worlds. And this full moon is the beginning of Your work to renew and ripen the fruit trees, to bring forth the fruit of 'the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden'. May it be Your will that our eating the fruits of Tu Bish'vat will strengthen the flow of love and blessing over the trees, to make them grow and bloom, for good life, for blessing and for peace. May all Creation return to its original strength, and may all the sparks of divinity scattered by our hands, or by the hands of our ancestors, or by the sin of the first human against the fruit of the tree, be returned and included in the majestic might of the Tree of Life. ~ P'ri Eitz Hadar for Tu Bish'vat
Bring Chasidic Nusach to your Community
NeoHasid.org is dedicated to bringing the wellsprings of Chasidut
as far as the internet can carry them–an open door
to Chasidic songs and traditions (aka "Chasidus"), for everyone: women and men, religious or
secular, however observant, connected to a Jewish community or not.
Neohasid.org also features eco-Torah, egalitarian liturgies, and cultural reports on the new Chasidim. The vision for NeoHasid is egalitarian: everyone is invited to create and use
these resources, and to share them with their communities.
Connect here with the spirit and song of Chasidut and with the new
Chasidus.
Participate: Add a song or teaching!
Use it: Learn and teach a new nigun to your community.
