     There is nothing more uniquely characteristic of the style of
     Jewish religious life than the great love Jews have for holy books.

   This list provides a collection of sources on the various forms of
   Chassidism, a more mystical and exuberant side of traditional Judaism.
   Note that no book can substitute for a formal course of instruction
   guided by one's Rebbe. A high-level summary of Chassidism can be found
   at [6]http://www.chabad.org/chasidism.html.
