I see you spell “Chassidic” with the Ch rather than the H. I always spelled it “Hassidic,” but spelled Chanukah with the Ch.

I'm afraid it's much more complicated than that. And the "three branches" thing is just about two hundred years old. The Reform and Conservative "branches" don't believe the Torah is from Heaven, so they aren't really "branches of Judaism" at all (though their members are real Jews).

The Hebrew letter is chet. Some use "h" to represent chet; I use "ch" and use "h" for heh.
