"The Cosmic Twin of the Baal Shem Tov"

"This Friday night in shul, look among the crowd of beggars waiting near the door to be invited for the Shabbat meal. One of them will be a hidden tzadik!" the Baal Shem Tov told his brother-in-law.

Why this week? This Shabbat, Chai [18th] Elul, is the birthdate of the Baal Shem Tov and the anniversary of his first revealing the Chassidic movement.

"The Conflicted Tailor"

He looked for ways to increase his meager income but never succeeded. When he couldn't stand his desperate economic situation any longer, he went to the tzadik , the "Ohev Yisrael" of Apta.

Why this Week? This week's Torah reading contains many commandments. One striking prohibition is to not wear a garment with a wool and linen mixture.
