Baal Shem Tov – Numbers

description of book Baal Shem Tov – Numbers Mystical stories about the Baal Shem Tov relating to the weekly Torah portion of Numbers. The most famous master of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism is the Baal Shem Tov. More stories are told about him than about any other person in Jewish history. Mostly they have been passed down through an oral tradition for over 250 years until recent years when books and even the internet continue the time-honored tradition of passing these stories from parent to child–from Chassid to Chassid. These stories have formed the foundation of one of the most fundamental and important of Chassidic spiritual practices: telling stories about and connecting to the Tzaddikim–the great Jewish spiritual masters. All Chassidim share the common belief that the basic facts of these stories are true. Today these stories and teachings are as relevant as they were in the past. They span the Torah from Breishis to Devarim to the Holy days and beyond! They nudge us towards intensifying our service of G-d and how to live our lives with a joyful attitude. No Jewish library is complete without these!! By Rabbi Tzvi Cohen
