Lithuanian Jews - Ethnicity religious customs and heritage
Lithuanian Jews are almost all Ashkenazi Jews and many are Mitnagdim who were opposed to the new inroads of Hasidism. A sizable minority are Hasidim of Chabad and Karlin (Pinsk). Religiously, they were adherents of Haredi Judaism, but with the spread of the Enlightenment, many became devotees of the Haskala movement in Eastern Europe.
In Israel, those whose roots are from Lithuania, or choose to be strongly associated with it, are called Litaim in Hebrew, or Litvish (in Yiddish, in English: "Lithuanians").
Some of the "Lithuanian yeshivas" , are Ponevezh, Telshe, Shavel, Kelm, Slabodka.
Lithuania was historically home to a large and influential Jewish community that was almost entirely eliminated during the Holocaust.
