JL;DR SUMMARY This podcast discusses various differences between Chassidus and Hisnagdus, such as their perspectives on Emuna, Bitachon, fulfillment of mitzvos, the role of intellect and emotions in Judaism, the origins of Chassidus, the beginning of real Hisnagdus, and the nature of opposition to Chassidic teachings.

• But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
• And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
