Definition
A title meaning 'master of the name' in Hebrew, historically referring to a Jewish mystic or hasidic rabbi with spiritual powers.
Etymology
From Hebrew בַּעַל שֵׁם (ba'al shem), combining 'ba'al' (master) and 'shem' (name). The most famous bearer was Israel ben Eliezer (1700-1760), known as the Baal Shem Tov, who founded Hasidic Judaism.
Kelly Says
The Baal Shem Tov became such a beloved figure in Jewish culture that stories about his miracles and wisdom spread across Eastern Europe for centuries—he literally founded a spiritual movement that still influences millions of people today.
