What Is Chassidus? : An online class in honor of the 18th of Elul
If we had to categorize Chassidism, what would it be: philosophy, psychology, religious system, moral code, Biblical commentary, Kabbalah, culture, all of the above, or none of the above?

Thanks, Rabbi Shemtov, for the class!
Here my thoughts as it seems to me:
The wooden box has to be engaged, we shouldn’t skip it. I didn’t read the Rebbe’s talk about the Aron Akodesh- will be glad to know exact source, but it feels that hassidus is when our essence Inspire our understanding and emotions (wood) and this enliven our deeds. We shouldn’t skip the wood! Then this will be perfection: in Aron Kodesh, in personal wholeness and in global. And this is the Geulah!
Interesting.
I've watched 33 minutes & I still don't know what Chassidus is.
