Description

Page 13 in packet from Rav Mottel Zilber. The Baal Shem Tov did not add anything new to the world. He revealed the true nature of every aspect of life. This new perspective changed the way people approached daily life, especially Shabbos. Before the Besht Shabbos was just a remembrance of Egypt and Creation and God's day of rest. The Besht revealed the inner dimension of Shabbos, a return to the ideal state. Everything worked on during the week would see its completion on Shabbos. The true light of our mitzvos would shine bright on Shabbos. The rewarding taste was tangible. Shabbos is a part of the world to come. Tzadikim felt this on Shabbos, even in physicality. Shabbos was revealed as a return to the source for everything.
