A rabbi's lifelong journey to uncover the source and inspiration of Hasidism unfolds through Burt Jacobson's exploration of Israel Baal Shem Tov, the movement's founder. Inspired by Abraham Joshua Heschel at Jewish Theological Seminary, Jacobson dedicated himself to studying the Baal Shem, whom Heschel regarded as the greatest Jewish teacher of the last millennium. This work offers a comprehensive portrait of the Baal Shem Tov, revealing lesser-known aspects of his biography and revolutionary ideas. Jacobson, drawing on global wisdom traditions and his personal experiences, positions the Baal Shem alongside great spiritual leaders, showcasing his vision of ecstatic mystical encounters that reveal the transcendent unity of existence. This profound understanding inspired a deep love and compassion for all creation, particularly for those he encountered. Disciples reported that these teachings transformed their self-perception as manifestations of the Divine and reshaped their roles as spiritual leaders, laying the groundwork for Hasidism. Throughout the narrative, Jacobson evaluates insights from historians and scholars while sharing personal stories of his own struggles with Jewish identity and his spiritual connection to the Baal Shem. This work is both a scholarly achievement and a heartfelt tribute, destined to become a seminal text on the subject in English.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'One rabbi's lifelong journey to find the Baal Shem Tov. As a student of Abraham Joshua Heschel at Jewish Theological Seminary sixty years ago, Burt Jacobson was moved to devote his life to the study of Israel ben Eliezer, also known as the Baal Shem Tov-the founder of Hasidism. Heschel considered the Baal Shem the greatest Jewish teacher and communal leader of the last 1,000 years. Living in the Presence is a wide-ranging portrait, revealing numerous facets of the Baal Shem Tov's biography and revolutionary thought previously unknown. Through his knowledge of the world's wisdom traditions, and personal journey, Rabbi Jacobson is able to place his subject in the company of other great world spiritual teachers including Jesus and the Buddha. Jacobson reveals the Baal Shem's vision as an ecstatic mystical encounter that opened to the transcendent unity of existence. It was this that inspired his love and compassion for all creation, especially for the people he met. His disciples testified that their experience of these truths transformed how they understood their identities as manifestations of the Divine, altered how they lived as spiritual leaders of communities, and laid the foundations for Hasidism as a movement. Throughout his book Jacobson presents and evaluates insights of historians and scholars, but it is also filled with personal stories about Jacobson's own struggle with his Jewish identity and encounter with the Baal Shem as his teacher. Both a tour de force and a labor of love, this book will quickly become the most essential work on the subject ever published in English'.
