This week we pass from the Jewish month of Sivan to Tammuz. Our 3rd article is a kabbalistic look at the difference between the two.
This Shabbat (3 Tammuz) coincides with the 21st yahrzeit of
the Lubavitcher Rebbe
,
a profound student and teacher of Kabbalah, in additional to his many better known accomplishments.
A variety of teachings by him, from him and about him can be found in the first two and last two articles, as well as quotes of him in #4-5.
One of the latter (#4) is on the 4th chapter of Avot, for those who continue to study it on Shabbat afternoons throughout the summer.
