Abstract

The Ba'al Shem Tov, founder of Hasidism (known by the acronym, the BeShT), was a charismatic teacher with extraordinary impact. While hasidic traditions record his vehement opposition to documentation of his teachings, his disciples nevertheless wrote what they remembered, and hasidic literature is suffused with traditions about him and conveyed by him.
