A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
In this week's Torah Reading we learn about hospitality from our patriarch Abraham, and the mitzvah of visting the sick from G‑d Himself.
One of this issue's seven features a look at deeds of kindness by a classic Kabbalist. The third article contains the explanation for why thousands of people will pour into Tzefat this week. The lead article discusses a topic that we are frequently consulted about. Dedication
