Oral Law,The Baal Shem Tov Part 2 The most important values to the world and the Jewish lifestyle have been written in Hebrew then translated to the soul. There are something's in all ways that still live, rather it be a heart beat or dust in the wind or even the very breath that G-d gave us. Please do not think that the teaching of the Baal Shem Tov does not live on. For our Master, our King and Holy ancient One ,gives us comfort and also whispers the words of "They still live on.. and so must you". Reply
