Brodersen's engineer, Weisenberg, of Neo-Chasidim descent, says:
"'This might be our last possible way to reach the Others.' Weisenberg still sat quietly and did not raise his voice; but in his eyes appeared a light that the Baal Shem Tov would have recognized." (p. 143)
Observations
I had to google "Baal Shem Tov."
In Poul Anderson's The Day Of Their Return, many characters hope to meet the Ancients. In The Avatar, Brodersen's crew will meet the Others. Anderson's many sf works address every possibility.

Kaor, Paul!
What I recall about the Hasidim, from other works, was that Jews from other countries thought them odd and rustic. Esp. German and western European Jews.
