What is the Hasidic attitude towards non-Hasidim?
Hasidim, like the rest of conservative Orthodoxy, does not approve or accept the legitimacy of any non-Orthodox community or practice. Furthermore, even Modern Orthodox communities are considered alien to the Hasidic world. There is little in common between a Hasidic community and a modern-orthodox one, like Yeshiva University, and five-town communities. Some non-Hasidic Lithuania communities, though, maintain very close ties to the Hasidic community, and some Hasidim even attend their Yeshiva schools, as they are considered widely considered better and more thorough.
