I know that the Hisidick Jews have beards & wear hats but do they believe anything different than the conservative or other Jewish people? Like Catholics are not supposed to eat on Friday but I know several Catholics that do, are the Hisidick Jews the ones that will never have pork?

This site gives you information on the different sects of Judaism

It is spelled Chasidic (khah-SID-ic) not hisidick.
Chasidic (khah-SID-ic)
From the word "Chasid" meaning "pious." A branch of Orthodox Judaism that maintains a lifestyle separate from the non-Jewish world.
Orthodox
One of the major movements of Judaism, believing that Jewish law comes from G-d and cannot be changed.
Reform Judaism does not believe that the Torah was written by G-d. The movement accepts the critical theory of Biblical authorship: that the Bible was written by separate sources and redacted together.
Conservative Judaism grew out of the tension between Orthodoxy and Reform Conservative Judaism maintains that the truths found in Jewish scriptures and other Jewish writings come from G-d, but were transmitted by humans and contain a human compontent.
Reconstructionists believe that Judaism is an "evolving religious civilization." They do not believe in a personified deity that is active in history, and they do not believe that G-d chose the Jewish people.

The word is Hassidic or Hasidic. They are a sect of Judaism that adheres to the strictest interpretation of the Torah. They go to extremes of obedience during the Sabbath (Saturday). They do not use public transportation, nor electrical appliances.
As you mentioned, they do not eat or even handle pork. It is one of the animals declared unclean. Then again, Muslims and Hindus do the same thing.
They only congregate and speak to their own kind. They have special barber shops that cut their hair according to the Torah. That is the lifestyle they choose. They are born into this society and do not leave. For one to do so is a great great
insult. I lived in a Hassidic neighborhood in Brooklyn,NY. I can tell you these things from first hand observation. After a year of living in that area, they would say only Shalom (peace) to me. Sometimes only a nod of the head in recognition. Other than that they do not speak to outsiders.
Like any other religion, they should be respected.

Messianic Jews gained't be "jews" (area of cutting-edge Judaism, you adult adult males keep on with the commandments of guy, that is an abomination) yet we are Israel, compared to messiah-rejecting "jews".

HASIDIC Jews are more 'orthodox' and more steeped in their faith than say a 'regular' orthodox Jew, and even more so than a 'reformed Jew. Below is are a couple links to sites that might help you in undertanding the Hasidic Jew. Jews, in general, do not eat pork and other 'unclean' animals (rabbits, shell fish, etc).

In all religions the equation is the same:
Increased conservatism, fundamentalism, and orthodoxy equals increased ignorance, stupidity, bigotry, and violent-criminal behavior.
