Rabbi Israel Shem Tov

I love this so much! after my heart transplant when I woke up and thank G~d for His Miracle, I quickly went back to sleep, I had a very similar event or dream. I ascended into to heaven and there I was spoken to, I stood before G~d I couldn't see Him though. and so much of this very message I heard, I didn't understand it until now, and it's going to be 10 years, receiving my heart in Lateral part of March and April 1st w/my heart transplant. my dream has always had me wondering so much, trying to understand it, and now I do! KBH!! Blessed is our G~d! Many times I have felt my soul go up when I was in deep meditation when praying, My eyes closed and I deeply worship G~d Almighty with great love. My love for G~d is greater than any love, its like when one gets married for the first time, the love is immense not measurable, I love G~d way more than this, my love is sincere and pure, saying the Sh'ma, I enter spiritually and I stand before G~d, whom I so love.

Great Blessings of the Ancients.

Surely this documentary speaks of today as much as it spoke of the time of our beloved Rabbi Baal Shem Tov.
Shalom
