  1. "Even inside a five-story brownstone crowded with #paintings, #sculptures and #books, no single work can fully contain the spirit of #Ukrainian-born #artist #BenZion. Still, one #painting comes close: a #portrait of the healer and #rabbi known as #BaalShemTov, seated calmly beneath a tree. Rendered in ochre, gray and green, the canvas draws on #Jewish #mysticism and the natural world, themes that pulse through Ben-Zion’s life and work.

    Perfectly preserved from the years Ben-Zion lived there, from 1965 until his death in 1987, the #BenZionHouse, located in #Chelsea in #Manhattan, is anything but a mausoleum. Instead, it feels like a living sanctuary — one that not only celebrates the Jewish artist’s life and work, but continues to inspire the #writers, #poets, #architects, #musicians and #painters who pass through its rooms."

  6. A #Chassidic teaching of the Baal Shem Tov

    "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," (Vayikra 19:18), is a reflection of the mitzvah, "You shall love the Lord, your God." For when one loves another Jew, one loves the Holy One. For [the soul of] a Jew is a "portion of God Above," and when one loves a fellow Jew, one loves his innermost essence. Thus, one loves the Holy One as well - HaYom Yom 78
