A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat After the reading of Mishpatim this week, an additional section about the half-shekel is also read — see first two articles. The long discourses in the Zohar about the Jewish doctrine of reincarnation evolve from this week's Torah reading (article #3). In the next article, possible spiritual dimensions of a certain major event in the world this week are explained. To receive the weekly magazine in your email, go to Subscribe.
