T100 (Tinyana) PNC - Mi-Katan ad Gadol — No Ish Kasher Without Hisbodedus; David and the Bal Shem's Zera

**Siperu li she-amar, she-mi-katan ad gadol i-efshar li-hyois ish kasher be-emes, ki im al-yedei hisbodedus.** They told me he said: *from the smallest to the greatest, it is impossible to be a true ish kasher except by means of hisbodedus.* **Ve-hayah mazkir kammah ve-chammah tzaddikim mefursamim amitiyim ve-amar, she-kulam loi ba'u le-madreigasam ki im al-yedei hisbodedus.** Every single mefursam amiti he listed — *none* arrived where they arrived except through hisbodedus.

**Even a *poshut* einikel of the Baal Shem Toiv** — *gam tafas ish echad pashut mi-nichdei ha-Baal Shem Toiv, zichroinoi li-vrachah, ve-amar: gam zeh mefareish sichaso be-chol pa'am lifnei HaShem yisbarach bi-vichyah gedolah*. Even a *plain* descendant of the Besht — Rabbeinu pointed him out — *also* pours out his sichah lifnei HaShem yisbarach with great weeping. **Ve-amar: she-zera ha-Baal Shem Toiv regilim ba-zeh be-yoter, ki heim mi-zera Dovid ha-melech, alav ha-shaloim** — *the Besht's seed are habituated to this all the more, because they are from the seed of Dovid ha-Melech*. **Ve-chol iskoi shel Dovid hayah inyan zeh, she-hayah meshabber libo me'oid lifnei HaShem yisbarach tomid** — Dovid's *entire* asak was *the breaking of the heart before HaShem*. *Ve-zehu ikar Sefer Tehillim she-yasad* — and *that* is the whole foundation of Sefer Tehillim.
