Every leaf is guided

A teaching ofRebbe Yisroel ben Eliezer (the Baal Shem Tov)רבי ישראל בן אליעזר (הבעל שם טוב)

A teaching handed down in his name holds that Divine providence extends to everything: a leaf turning over in the wind, a speck of dust carried along, all happen by Hashem's precise will and for a purpose within His plan for creation. For the Baal Shem Tov's followers this transformed daily life. Nothing is random; each encounter and event is a message and an opportunity.
