The Baal Shem Tov's Mirror

The Chassidic Story Project with Barak Hullman - A Chassidic Story Every Week

This week I have two stories for you for Chai Elul, the 18th of Elul which is the birthdays of both the Baal Shem Tov in 1698 and the Alter Rebbe in 1745. The first story is about a father with eighteen sons. He sends they off and asks them to come back five years later to share what Torah ideas they learned and the second about the Alter Rebbe putting out a fire and the miracle story that followed. If you're enjoying these Chasidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
