Two hundred and fifty years ago in the Ukranian city of Berditchov, a great Chasidic master guided his followers along a passionate and uplifting path. With his actions, he conveyed the excitement and beauty of living life as an servant of Hashem; with his words, he taught exalted teachings filled with the bright light of his soul. Those teachings instilled in his Chasidim a tremendous awe, love and yearning for Hashem. Peering through the window of his messages, they were able to catch glimpses of heaven.
“Sparks From Berditchov” seeks to draw the beautiful teachings of Rav Levi Yitzchak out of the quaint cobblestone streets of Berditchov and carry them into the 21st century. In our generation, where a Yiddishkeit bursting with relevance, beauty and life has frozen over, it takes brilliant sparks of inspirational fire to warm up our souls. Sparks of chizzuk. Sparks of emunah. Sparks from Berditchov.
