A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
The name of this week's reading, "Teruma," refers to the donations
of materials for building the Sanctuary. Today the word is used, like
"tzedaka," to refer to all giving to worthy Jewish causes — See
article 4 by
"HaMorah" Yehudis Fishman, who has been teaching Torah for over fifty
years, mostly in Western USA.
Articles #2-3 are for the Merry Month of Adar, which began this week. Next week: special Purim edition. |
