BIOGRAPHY Baal Szem Tow Was born in the year 1700 in Okopy (Holy Trinity Trenches) and died in 1760 in Międzybórz (Medzhybizh). He was a plebeian mystic, a miracle man and the first teacher of Polish Hasidism. Most tales about his life are legendary in their nature…
DOCTRINE • An ecstatic prayer was most important in connection with rapid body movements. • A prayer is the cleanest and the most perfect way of life. • A belief in his being a real intermediary between heaven and 4. Conviction that he can excuse each sinner and that he can contempt each sinner, for instance for rejecting his teaching. 5. Practising mystical“adhering” to God during everyday activities, eg. eating.
„REVALATION” When he was barely over twenty years old he went to the Carpathian Mountains in order to prepare himself spiritually for “revelation”- which was announcing a mission – through strict asceticism. He worked physically excavating clay, which was sold by his wife. When he was 36 years old, his revelation appeared as Baal Shem Tov – he healed a demoniac. In spring 1739 he attempted to reach the Holy Land, yet he never managed to get there and after nearly a one year stay in Istanbul he came back to Podole (Podolia).
