Foundations of Chassidus - Sefer Kesser Shem Tov

In this shiur in our new series on sefer Kesser Shem Tov, we learn about how Hashem's Presence can be experienced in a challenging circumstance, the way the tzaddikim interpret everything they see in a way of love and kindness, and how sensing that being aware that we lack is already half the battle...
