Neo-Hasidism, also Neochassidut or Neo-Chassidus, is an approach to Judaism in which aspects of Hasidic Judaism are incorporated into non-Hasidic religious Jewish practice. Over the 20th century, neo-Hasidism was popularized by the works of writers such as Hillel Zeitlin, Martin Buber, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and Arthur Green.
Neo-Hasidism is not a denomination of Judaism but rather an approach to Judaism that can be found in all its Orthodox and non-Orthodox movements. Among non-Orthodox Jews, one can find adherents of neo-Hasidism.
