" - Tu ne te rapelles rien? s'écria le Baal-Shem. Vraiment rien?
- Rien Rabbi. Sauf...
- ... sauf quoi?
- L'Aleph-Beith.
- Alors qu'attends-tu? Commence! Vite!
Obéissant comme toujours, le scribe se mit à réciter lentement, douloureusement, les premières lettres sacrées qui contiennent tous les mystères de l'univers:
- Aleph, Beith, Guimmel, Daleth...
et le Maître, de plus en plus éxcité, répéta après lui:
- Aleph, Beith, Guimmel, Daleth...
Puis ils recommencèrent depuis le début. Et le Baal-Shem déclamait l'alphabet avec tant de ferveur qu'il finit par tomber dans l'extase. et lorsque le Baal-Shem était en extase, rien ne lui résistait, c'était là chose connue. Sans même s'en rendre compte, il finit par changer de lieu et de condition; il brisa les chaînes, révoqua la malédiction: Maître et scribe se retrouvèrent chez eux, sains et saufs, plus riches et plus nostalgiques qu'avant.
Le Messie n'était pas arrivé. "
Élie Wiesel, Célébration Hassidique
The quote above comes at the end of the story where the Baal-Shem, having nearly managed to make God send the Messiah and put an early end to the exile, ends up stranded on a desert island with his secretary, both of them having forgotten everything. The book (translated into English as "Souls on Fire: Portraits and Legends of Hasidic Masters") is a collection of such stories and of reflections upon them. Most absolutely commended if you haven't read it yet.

"Body of Knowledge" by Jaume Plensa. The student is not part of the piece, he was just hanging around waiting for the library to open... his pose was just right, I simply could not not take that picture :)
