Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1700-1760), the founder of Hasidism, was a mystic and miracle-worker, a lover of God, people, and the whole creation. He revived Judaism by putting love and joy at the center of religious life and championed the pious common folk against an aloof rabbinic establishment. One of the greatest Jewish teachers of all time, the Besht, as he is often called, is the inspiration for much of what is alive today in Judaism. Yet amazingly, this is the first comprehensive book in English about his life and teachings!
