A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This Tuesday (Sivan 26) is the yahrzeit-hilula of
Rabbi Yonatan Ben Uziel, the top student of the
great sage Hillel.
His burial site outside of Tzefat receives tens of thousands of visitors a year, especially those that heard it is a propitious place to pray to meet one's destined marriage partner. The first two articles provide interesting background on this seminal figure in Jewish history and scholarship The next-to-last is an insight into the Weekly Reading from a leading Kabbalist in Old City Jerusalem who passed away earlier this year. Dedication
In
memory of
Rabbi
MORDECHAI-TZEMEK ELIYAHU,
one of the leading sages in the state of Israel in the last sixty-five years, a major judge of Jewish law for the Sephardic communities, a former chief rabbi of Israel and --not so publicly known-- an accomplished Kabbalist, whose 3rd yahrzeit is this Monday (25 Sivan / June 3). He is also the father of Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, whom we know personally from his 25 years of service as chief Rabbi of Safed, and also from his active and enthusiastic participation in many ASCENT* outreach activities. (*the mother organization of KabbalaOnline.org) Leibel Zisman, a genuine Holocaust hero, at 93 years old still energetically electrifies audiences. Last week he suffered a terrible accident. He needs and deserves our prayers. So please pray that Yosef Aryeh Leib ben Liba Bluma should be granted Divine Mercy and a full recovery. |
