Some religions refuse to consider our stay on earth as real life. They either teach that everything that appears to us here is only an appearance through which we must penetrate, or that it is only the outskirts of the real world, which we must run through almost without looking. In Judaism everything is different. The deeds of a person that he does here in holiness are more important and truer than his life in the World to Come. This teaching received its final form precisely in Hasidism. This book presents the reader with Hasidic stories, creatively reinterpreted by Martin Buber.
