Etkes, Immanuel, 'Rabbi Ḥayyim of Volozhin’s Response to Hasidism', The Gaon of Vilna: The Man and His Image (Oakland, CA , 2002; online edn, California Scholarship Online, 22 Mar. 2012), https://doi.org/10.1525/california/9780520223943.003.0006, accessed 28 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter discusses the controversy between Mitnagdim and Hasidim focusing on Rabbi H. Hayyim of Volozhin's response to Hasidism. Hayyim waged the struggle against Hasidism in a style entirely different from that initiated and led by his teacher and master, Vilna Gaon. It explains that while Vilna Gaon waged an unrelenting war to eliminate the deviant sect, Hayyim chose to struggle against Hasidism on the plane of ideas and education. It also discusses Hayyim's realization that Hasidim were not heretics and their motives were pure and his establishment of the Volozhin yeshiva.
