  1. Meaning unclear. Perhaps the gist of it is that the stories in Shivchei Habesht are not to be believed as literal fact. Nevertheless, one should believe that the Besht was capable of performing such wonders.

About the Research Institute

Late Hasidism was perceived and presented in research as a movement of institutionalization and entrenchment that lost the initial Hasidic renaissance, and even degenerated. Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
