A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This is the first full week of the Jewish month of Iyar (lead article), which connects the month of Passover that precedes it to the month of Shavuot that follows it.
Next is a menu of our selections (so far!) from a not-yet-completed, detailed and deep commentary on the Zohar, which starts at the very beginning and skips nothing. Article #3 is for the unique mitzvah of "Counting of the Omer," over which we recite a blessings every evening of the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot. >Next week: Speecial Lag b'Omer ("Zohar Day") special Dedication
In memory of Feiga bat Yerachmiel ("Aunt Frances" Hirsch), whose yahrzeit falls this Friday.
