==== Tzadik HaDor ==== In some movements the Hasidim believe that their rebbe is the "''tzadik hador''" ([[Tzadik#Tzaddik of the Generation|tzaddik of the generation]]) and would regard any thought that detracts from his perfection and holiness as heresy. Other sects lessen this idealization to some degree or another. Since many rebbes are sons-in-law or students of other rebbes, it makes sense that they would view themselves as subordinate to those other rebbes. Nonetheless, their Hasidim remain loyal to them because of their special loyalty, a family connection, or a belief that a specific ''[[tzaddik]]'' or Nasi HaDor (although others might have greater spiritual stature) connects best with one's soul. For example, the [[Kosov (Hasidic dynasty)|Kosover]] Rebbe makes yearly pilgrimages to the [[Tosh (Hasidic dynasty)|Tosher]] Rebbe. Nonetheless, his followers remain very loyal to him.
