אַהֲבַת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁל הַבַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב — אֵין לְשַׁעֵר
The Baal Shem Tov’s love of his fellow Jews is beyond conception.
הָרַב הַמַּגִּיד אָמַר
On this the Maggid of Mezritch once said:
הַלְוַאי הָיוּ נוֹשְׁקִים הַסֵּפֶר תּוֹרָה
“If only people would kiss the Torah scroll
בְּאוֹתָהּ הָאַהֲבָה, שֶׁהָיָה מוֹרִי מְנַשֵּׁק אֶת הַיְּלָדִים
with the same love that my mentor, the Baal Shem Tov, kissed the children
בְּהוֹלִיכוֹ אוֹתָם אֶל הַחֵדֶר
whom he took to school,
כְּשֶׁהָיָה בּאַהעֶלפעֶר
when he worked as a teacher’s assistant at the cheder.”
