The Foundation of the Synagogue

The Baal Shem Tov enjoyed the man's simplicity and honesty and he wanted to investigate more deeply into his soul. He asked, What do you do when your children are ready for marriage and you have to make a wedding?

I have never had a problem, for G-d always provides, a bit from here and a bit from there also comes in, and I have always, thank G-d, managed.

Then the Besht asked, Do you ever say Psalms?

The ones I know by heart, I say while I work, the man answered.

After the man left, the Besht turned to his host and said, A man like this is the very foundation of the synagogue. He will remain so until the coming of Moshiach.
