Trapped in a Vegetable
“STOP! Don’t drink that vodka!” exclaimed the Baal Shem Tov. Listen while Rabbi Perl transports you in time, and see how the Baal Shem Tov helps release a trapped Neshama (soul), so it can reach its destination in Gan Eden (heaven), through saying a blessing on a drink. This story shows the importance of saying a Bracha (blessing) on food and drink. You may never know whose soul you are elevating
