Confronting or Escaping? -Beyond the "Back of the Wagon of the Baal Shem Kotzk Blog 521
This episode challenges the widespread belief that the Baal Shem Tov offered a straightforward, one-step path to joy. Rather than promoting effortless happiness, he appears to have called for profound and often unsettling introspection—urging individuals to confront their deepest fears and vulnerabilities. Joy, in his view, was not guaranteed, but perhaps only attainable through a rigorous inner journey.
