A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat Welcome to our special SHAVUOT issue. Articles 1-4,7 are all for the holiday, including from the Zohar and from the Ari of Tzefat; the other two are for the Weekly Reading and for the weekly chapter of Pirkei Avot, both read on Shabbat Day, which leads into Shavuot night. (Those of you in ISRAEL should click to NASO for articles on the Weekly Reading there.) To receive the weekly magazine in your email, go to Subscribe. To sponsor a future issue, go to Dedicate.
