Baal Shem Tov Foundation - BaalShemTov.com

Baal Shem Tov Foundation - BaalShemTov.com: "Upon return to his earthly body, the Baal Shem called together all of his close Chassidim (disciples) and inquired as to who among them wrote a sefer of the Baal Shem Tov's Torah. One of the Chassidim sheepishly came forward holding a small sefer (book) in which he had carefully recorded Torah teachings which he personally heard from the lips of the Baal Shem Tov. The Baal Shem Tov immediately sat down and read the entire Sefer. After he finished, he handed the Sefer back to the student and said 'There is not a single statement that I said within this sefer.'
