Re: [Cz-L] Mikwe of Baal ShemTov, foot of the Nimchich pass in Vizhenka

Hi Jerry,

YIVO encyclopedia says that the Baal Shem Tov was born in Okopy, lived for
a time in Tluste and had interactions with people from Kuty/Kitev.

What source do you have that says he was born in Kuty?

All the best,
Bruce
