Nice.. that you already know. What could be improved?
1. In the narrative, the “likes” and the “you knows” are artificial;
2. The story contains two divergent lessons: (a) to fear only Hashem, (and to that end the Baal Shem would purposely go into the forest); (b) the forest is confusion.
The problem is that the Baal Shem Tov wouldn’t purposely lose his way, c”v. But without even without undue analysis, the viewer will be distracted by the the dual lesson.
I hope this helps. Keep up the good work!
