Kotzk

But there's something else as well that we need to take into consideration.

Another unique feature of Pshishka and Kotsk.

Pshishka, of course, coming from Reb Simcha Bunim of Pshishka.

The Kotska broke from Reb Simcha Bunim.

And in turn...

Reb Mordechai, Leina, the Ishbetser broke from the Kotzke, but Pshitsk and Kotzk were known to be, out of all the Hasidic movements, known to be among the most elitist of those movements.

They mocked the masses of the Hasidim.

They regarded the Hasidim as being absolute imbeciles and silly.
