The Baal Shem Tov once said:
“There are real precious stones that everyone can admire, their brilliance, the way they sparkle in different colors and examine their authenticity: these are the true believers.
There are also fake gems: they are hypocrites.
And finally, there are also treasures buried under the sand, which are not immediately noticed: these are those who easily give in to urges and do not observe the prescriptions of the law, but still carry charity in their hearts.”
He paused for a moment and added: “But they are all precious stones.”
