The Baal Shem Tov,
or Besht — the founder of Chasidism —
met the soul of
the Messiah during an ascent to heaven.
The Besht asked
him, "When will the Master come?"
The Messiah
answered, "When your wellsprings break forth to the outside!"
(from a letter written by the
Besht to his brother-in-law about one of his soul ascents) quoted by Rabbi
David Seidenberg
