Tefillah 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Baal Shem Tov

Description

The  Baal Shem Tov explains there are different paths we follow. The well trodden path of Halacha is the safe path. The path not taken is one we need to follow with caution. We need to follow both. The lesser walked path of expressing our own spirituality should be accompanied with davening (praying) for Hashem's guidance. The Baal Shem Tov's path was to change the physical into something lofty.
