(A translation of a letter sent by the Rebbe Rayatz to his daughter, Rebbetzin Chayah Mushka)
Pirkei Avos teaches: “Know from where you came.” An awareness of our people’s roots in the past tells us much about defining our direction in the future.

True - the Baal Shem Tov did not change the external situation of our people, but he changed the internals. From his revelation of Chassidism onward, the Jewish pulse beat to a different rhythm - one with more energy, joy, and depth.
And this is not merely history. The insights we can glean from this chronicle give every person the spiritual resources to work such a revolution within his own personal setting.
