A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
We are already three weeks into the counting of the 49 days between Pesach and Shavuot. The first two articles offer a Kabbalistic perspective on this important mitzvah.
We read two Torah portions this week — thus the last three articles, while the third article is for the third chapter of Pirkei Avot. Next week is our special LAG B'OMER issue Dedication
In honor of the "sheloshim" of Professor Jacquin Bierman
(Yaakov Dovid Halevi ben Nachum Binyamin Halevi), who passed away at a ripe old age last month on 7 Nissan (March 7) ***the ASCENT staff |
