This week I have two stories for you, the first is about a simple Jew who the Baal Shem Tov sees has a holy fire burning above him and tries to understand why and the second is about a young boy with crooked legs that gets a bracha from the last Lubavitcher Rebbe.

If you're enjoying these chasidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
