The Baal Shem Tov is sort of the "Rumi" or "Kabir" of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), an example of a towering figure and great mystic of one of the schools of spirituality. The ending part, "For my sake, the entire world was created", is a variation of an ancient axiom of wisdom about how a certain number of saints being present keeps the world alive, tilts the balance toward the Light. A version of it even turns up in saying twelve of the Gospel of THOMAS: "The students said to Yeshua, 'We know you will leave us. Who will be our leader?' Yeshua said to them, 'Wherever you are, seek out Yaakov the Just [James the Just]. For his sake heaven and earth came into being.'"

Martin Buber elaborates and expands on this axiom in a way that includes us all: "Every person should know and consider the fact that you, in the particular way that you are made, are unique in the world, and no one like you has ever been. For if someone like you had already been, there would be no reason for you to be in this world." (Ten Rings: Hasidic Sayings, Martin Buber)

Here's a big picture view from the Sikh scriptures of India, the Adi Granth, Peace Lagoon translation: "It was for the sake of the God-conscious beings that our True Lord created this earth, and began this play of death and birth".

In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhaswami,

[rotzaprachim]

I saw the bal Shem tov at the dashcon ball pit

now I have to go about my life dealing with the fact one of the words for “fan” in Yiddish is “חסיד״

Forgetfulness leads to exile while remembrance is the secret of redemption.

‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ Musical Recap: Chicken Soup for the Jewish Soul

Vincent Rodriguez III as Josh and Rachel Bloom as Rebecca (Photo: Scott Everett White/The CW)

Mazel tov, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. You’ve gifted American Jews with the finest onscreen Bar Mitzvah service since Danny Gopnik delivered his Torah portion stoned in the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man. Simply putting Jewish Broadway legends Patti LuPone (playing a rabbi no less!) and Tovah Feldshuh in the same frame would have been enough. But their disciple in the religion of musical theater Jewish humor, Rachel Bloom, goes further in the show’s tenth Season 2 hour, “Will Scarsdale Like Josh’s Shayna Punim?” I mean, look at that title alone! What other show would be meshugganah enough to refer to Josh Chan’s shayna punim, aka “pretty face” in its classic Yiddish form? She’s a real bal-shem, that one.

Beyond the Bar Mitzvah festivities, the cameos by Jewish acting royalty and the Yiddish phraseology, this episode is also deeply rooted in another key aspect that comes with being part of the Chosen people: guilt and self-doubt. It’s only now that Rebecca and Josh are finally an item — even exchanging “I love you’s” and everything — that she’s starting to question whether this is what she actually wants. And to the delight of her therapist, Dr. Akopian, that self-doubt brings her to the precipice of a potentially life-changing realization… that is until Josh goes and spoils it all by proposing to her. Meanwhile, the guilt comes from the muted reaction of Rebecca’s new best friend, Valencia, to the news that she and Josh are back together only five episodes after they were both peeing on his electronics equipment in the middle of the desert. Speaking from personal experience, that’s rarely a scenario they pose to you in Saturday synagogue school.

“We’ll Never Have Problems Again”

What It’s About: Josh and Rebecca forcefully rebutting Heather’s insinuation that their fanciful love bubble is eventually going to be popped by a sharp-edged real world problem. Sounds Like: Earth, Wind, & Fire funk with a touch of Bee Gees disco. Best Lyric: “We don’t need gasoline, our car will run on love.” “Elon Musk is developing that kind of car. The first test failed, but that’s ‘cause it wasn’t true love.” Funniest Sight Gag: Heather exiting the duo’s fantasy dance number with a classic Soul Train sashay. What It Reveals About Josh and Rebecca: The fact that they’re vociferously denying that they’ll ever confront another problem is, in and of itself, a really big problem.

“Remember That We Suffered”

What It’s About: Rebecca’s mother, as well as her spiritual authority, join forces to remind her that to suffer is Jewish; to complain, divine. Sounds Like: The geekiest version of “Hava Nagila” ever recored. Best Lyric: “Have we mentioned Hitler? I’m just saying that we suffered!” Funniest Sight Gag: Josh’s gleeful face as he gets his groove on to traditional Jewish folk dancing — an exotic form of dance for this boy band-ready hoofer. What It Reveals About Rebecca: Simply attending a Bar Mitzvah is, for her, a form of suffering. Not so for Josh, whose able to see the joy in the event, which is yet one more reason her self-doubt starts creeping in.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on The CW.

Dear Readers,

Im a girl that lives in Brooklyn, New York. I am a human with Jewish beliefs. I did not grow up this way but Im on my way to creating myself not through the people that raised me but through my own soul recognition. I disconnected myself from what I am supposed to be to what makes me feel higher then what my human body can contain. I started over spiritually and mentally. I hope to help people on similar life journeys because we are all on a road to enlightenment and we all should help each one of our soul sisters and brothers out. I can also say I am an artist because my mind works in abstract ways. Black sheep out of the 100 of white sheep. I always stood out and thought differently and couldn't find people to relate to me for a long time. Till it started speaking somewhere else then my words. Drawing,Painting,Music and writing. I believe in self expression and how understanding oneself can be the biggest eye opener for us humans. I also love chasidic culture and reading the tales of the Bal Shem Tov, A chasidic rabbi. If you don't know what chasidic is it is a sect of judaism. I hope you enjoy my posts and feel free to ask questions and send me messages :) 

                                                       Sincerely,

                                                                       Alexandra

Matisyahu - Bal Shem Tov (Spark Seeker: Acoustic Sessions)

Parece ser que Bal Shem Tov era un rabino iluminado, y Matisyahu canta sobre él y sus ideas.

Por otra parte, adiós lunes!

[dvar22]

wish this could have some more genders represented... but still exciting 

[crystal-beings]

I honestly can't even explain how much I love this song.

[halkyonic]

Matisyahu - Bal Shem Tov

This track starts a little slow, but once it gets going, it really rocks it! Kinda reminicent of a cat. In the beginning, cats are kittens. They are slow and off balance to start, but they grow to become a well-tuned animal hunting machine. Matisyahu has just released his newest album entitled Spark Seeker. "Bal Shem Tov" is a track on it, but if you like this music, check out the stream of the complete Spark Seeker.

The wait is almost over...  Love this man's music so damn much!!!

Here's something from the Jewish tradition that reminds me of that unusual phrase "for whose sake heaven and earth came into being," used in the Gospel of Thomas. "For my sake, the entire world was created." - Baal Shem Tov Gospel of Thomas, Logion 12: The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." Something similar is found in the Sikh scriptures of India: "It was for the sake of the God-conscious beings that our True Lord created this earth, and began this play of death and birth". (Adi Granth) The icon image is that of James the Just.
