A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Sunday is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Shneur Zalman, the founder of the Chabad-Chasidic school of Jewish mysticism and the first Chabad Rebbe.
The first article this week spotlights some of his deep thought, while the last - a story - illuminates his personality. This Shabbat will be Rosh Chodesh, the first of the Jewish month of Shevat. The third article discusses this convergence. Articles 4-5 relate to meditations on Divine Names, a main theme in the Weekly Reading. |
