מֵהַהֶפְרֵשׁ בֵּין הַנְהָגַת הַבַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב לְהַנְהָגַת הַמַּגִּיד
One of the differences in conduct between the Baal Shem Tov and [his successor,] the Maggid [of Mezritch],
כִּי הַבַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב הָיָה עָסוּק בִּנְסִיעוֹת שׁוֹנוֹת, וְהַמַּגִּיד יָשַׁב בְּבֵיתוֹ
was that the Baal Shem Tov traveled widely, whereas the Maggid remained at home.
עוֹד זֹאת
Moreover,
בִּימֵי נְשִׂיאוּת הַמַּגִּיד, כְּבָר הָיָה מְפוּרְסָם עִנְיַן הַחֲסִידוּת גַּם בְּמֶרְחַקִּים
during the period of the Maggid’s leadership, Chassidus was already widely known, even in distant communities,
עַל יְדֵי נְסִיעוֹת הַחֶבְרַיָּא קַדִּישָׁא
due to the extensive journeys of the “holy brotherhood,” [the inner circle of his disciples].
וְרַבִּים מִבַּעֲלֵי בָּתִּים בֵּינוֹנִים נִתְקַשְּׁרוּ לְתוֹרַת הַחֲסִידוּת וְהָיוּ נוֹסְעִים לְמעֶזרִיטש
Many common people had already established a connection with Chassidus and were visiting Mezritch.
