About NeoHasid
In 1995, the year after Reb Shlomo Carlebach z"l died, a group of friends came together to form a Chasidic egalitarian minyan on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, led by David Seidenberg and Shaul Magid.
On Shabbat B'reishit (the shabbat right after Simchat Torah), we davened together for the first time, meeting once a month for several years. A wonderful community of committed people from many walks of Jewish life, including ex-Yeshiva-niks and currently Orthodox yidn, Conservative and Reform rabbis and rabbinical students, etc., etc., began to gather to dance and sing, share Torah and meals.
One decade after the first Chasidic Egalitarian minyan, NeoHasid.org was created by Rabbi David Seidenberg to help folks integrate Chasidic song, learning, and nusach into their davenning and communities.
Online publications, news about classes, etc.
