Baal Shem Tov. Prayer
*
"The Golden Mountain", by Meyer Levin, [1932],
p. 114
Prayer
Once Rabbi Israel passed through a house of prayer. An old Jew sat there huddled over a book, reading in a hasty mumble, reading faster and faster, hour after hour.
Rabbi Israel said, "He is so absorbed in his learning that he has forgotten there is a God over the world."
