A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
In this first reading of the third book, Vayikra, there is detailed discussion of different types of offerings and sacrifices. One element common to them all is that they were accompanied by salt. Thw first two articles take a look at this basic yet vital ingredient. The third article presents a refreshing connection between the Torah reading and the upcoming Passover festival, and is followed by Zohar insights for the Reading too.
