Ideas they shaped most

Emunah (Faith / Belief)

discussed · passages

Faith — not blind belief but the foundational confidence in God's existence, oneness, and providence. The Baal Shem Tov teaches it as the doorway through which Torah and mitzvot enter; Likutei Moharan I:7 makes simple emunah the highest avodah.

De'ot (Character Traits and Their Refinement)

discussed · passages

The practice of training yourself to live in healthy balance—not too angry, not too passive; not too stingy, not too wasteful—as a religious duty.
