A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This week's Torah reading, Shelach, is built around the sad rejection of the Jewish people in the desert to "making aliyah" to the Promised Land.
The antidote is to arouse in ourselves love and fondness for the Land and for life in it. The third article is an excerpt from "Tuv HaAretz", a mystical 17th century book explaining about the holiness of the Land as understood in Kabbalah, highly relevant to the Reading. The last two articles (6-7) also relate to the same subject. |
