Summary
"He hears what they call him. But he listens to the presence his father promised would never leave him. Yisroel finds his way to those who nurture his healing gifts and rare compassion--until he embraces a destiny he cannot yet fathom nor deny any longer. Honoring women, children, and the poor as his teachers. Celebrating life's simplest deeds as worship. Praying with joyous abandon. Loving without condition. Yisroel's "irreverent" practices threaten the established authorities, among them an embittered rabbinic leader with a mission of his own: to¡destroy¡the irrepressible master known as the Baal Shem Tov and his growing community of followers."--Amazon.com
