What is "chasidim"

Usage examples of "chasidim".

He used Chasidim to smuggle in ecstasy from Holland, then laundered the drug money through local yeshivas and businesses of the Chasidim.

And if other New York Chasidim had done some transporting, maybe these jokers had made prior connections.

As a matter of fact, I recall a big scandal about New York Chasidim bringing in the drug.
