A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
A wide variety of articles this week, as you can ascertain by perusing the titles.
Included is an article (#4) discussiing major edicational guidelines from a Rebbe of the pre-WWII generation. In this week's Torah Reading we learn about hospitality from our patriarch Abraham (#5-7), and the mitzvah of visiting the sick from G‑d Himself. Therefore, our lead article features a look by a classic Safed Kabbalist at the mystical principles underlying deeds of kindness. The second article contains the explanation for why thousands of people will pour into our city of Safed/Tzefat this Friday and stay for Shabbat! Dedication
