Due to Rosh Chodesh Tevet next week, Chassidut Ruzhin - Boyan is having its Tish this Erev Shabbat. And as we all know, a holiday always means huge celebrations in chassidic groups: Due to Chanukkah, the Boyaner Rebbe is giving another Tish on the last Erev Shabbat of Chanukkah.
Mea Shearim will be full of celebrations over Chanukkah but do not forget that Karlin - Stolin is not having its Tish on the last day as usual, but on Thursday (during Chanukkah).
regarding takanot: it is forbidden to add or subtract anything from the torah so how do the various chassidiot explain the existence of their takanot ? it would be great if you would ask a number of different chasidim to see what they say

ReplyDeleteI am preparing a longer article on Takanot at the moment. Especially on the Toldot Aharon Takanot as well as their modesty book from Rabbi Daniel Frish.
The basic purpose of the Takanot is stipulating the rules for one's group. For instance: The Toldot Aharon set up a law (Takanah) that every member is only allowed to used the Toldot Aharon Sidur. Or that every member has to be in the Synagogue for at least two hours on Shabbat (for Shacharit).
I wouldn't call it adding or changing the Torah but rather making up internal rules for the group itself.
