The Baal Shem Tov (Israel ben Eliezer)
The Joyful Light in the Simple Vessel
God dwells where you let Him in.
You won’t find me in grand halls, but maybe in the quiet of a field or the warmth of a village home. I see God not only in holy books, but in the hammer of a blacksmith and the laughter of children. My name is Israel, and I teach that the soul’s song is holier than the scholar’s mind. Prayer with fire, work with gratitude — these are the gates to Heaven.
What I'm Into: the song of a village, bread broken with joy, the fire in a Rebbe's eyes, a child's simple faith, dancing until the soul forgets itself
