On Shavuos, we observe the passing of Rabbi Yisrael ben Eliezer, the founder of the Chassidic movement. He was known as the Baal Shem Tov, the Master of the Good Name. He taught that we could, and should, see Divine Guidance wherever we look. Here are some teachings of the Baal Shem Tov:
On Ahavas Yisrael...
"Loving the Jewish people is the same as loving G-d. The verse states, 'You are children to the L-rd, your G-d.' When you love the father, you also love the children!"
On Divine Guidance...
"A Jew is never alone: Wherever he goes and whenever he speaks, G-d is with him!"
Criticism...
"If you see a fault in others, you must have at least a trace of the same fault in yourself!"
On the Presence of G-d...
"G-dliness is everything, and everything is G-dliness!""The power of the Creator is hidden within every created thing!"
