A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
We lead with a basic teaching/instruction from Rabbi Chayim
Vital, the foremost disciple of the "holy Ari" of Tzefat.
The 4th article is for the second chapter of Pirkei Avot, which will study this Shabbat afternoon. The Weekly Reading combines two separate readings; these are the subject of the last three articles, including a startling story. (Viewers outside of Israel should click to Shemini for articles on the Weekly Reading there.) Dedication
In honor of the
yahrzeit on Sunday, 30 Nissan, of Rabbi Chaim Vital ,
the main disciple of the "Holy Ari" and the only one permitted to record his
teachings.
In memory of Feiga bat Yerachmiel ("Aunt Frances" Hirsch), whose yahrzeit falls on 2 Iyar - Tiferet sh'b'Tiferet |
