Talk:Baal Shem

message: What are super-good and supra-good deeds? Is this the same as the later statement that a Baal Shem is thought to perform miracles?Peter Chastain (talk) 06:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Super-good; Supra-good 

message: The article mentions Eliyahu of Worms (the founder of the movement variously known as "Macheneh Yisrael", the "Nistarim", which i linked to Eliyahu Baal Shem. However, on second thought,  i'm confused because that article  claimes that Eliyahu Baal Shem was the son of Yosef Jospa, while he:אליהו לואנץ claimes that the founder of the "Nistarim" was the son of Moshe. Can anyone help?

replies: text: I don't know - I hope someone does! I had this difficulty when compiling Baalei Shem on Timeline List of Jewish Kabbalists, based on this page's listing of Baalei Shem. It seems that there may be an error: too many Baalei Shem from Worms in Germany. Perhaps the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia page on Baal Shem can correct a mistake, if there is one (it's linked from this page). I don't have time right now. Or, if not, perhaps Hebrew wikipedia should be trusted more than this page - I can't read it/verify a google translation. It may be more correct. If a mistake is detected, then it should also be corrected on the Timeline List Kabbalists page. April8 (talk) 21:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The aforementioned Jewish Encyclopedia page  mentions 2 Ba'ale Shem named Elijah: Elijah of Chelm and Elijah b. Moses Loans. The JE page on KHOLM (CHELM)  states that Elijah Ba'al Shem (of Chelm)'s full name was Elijah b. Judah Aaron. The question remains: Was there a third Baal Shem named Eliyahu, son of Yosef Jospa? So far, I haven't found any source for that. -- -- -- 02:01, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hebrew wikipedia has 2 articles about another Ba'ale Shem, Elijah of Chelm. One is Elijah ben reb Aaron Judas ( about 1520 - 1583 ) with Golem's episode. The other is Elijah ben Moses Loans Ashkenazi ( 1564-1636 ), born in Frankfurt. GurenStar (talk) 08:48, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
