Hi.
I’m trying to reach my nephew about different people in Jewish history. I wanted to teach him about the Baal Shem Tov, but I wanted to start with like 5 core stories.
I was pointed to the Shivche Habesht but it has hundreds of stories.

Is there 5 that are known to be classics as a starter. Ideally suitable for a 6 year old.
And if there’s maybe a story or two about his early years. I found online very little about that.
