A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
The little known biblical holiday of Pesach Sheini, which occurs on the 14th of the Jewish month of Iyar (this Friday), is the subject of our 1st and 2nd articles. Hope you saved some matza!
Kabbalah customs for Shabbat! (see article #3) The 4th article presents insights for the 4th chapter of Pirkei Avot (the Mishnaic tractate of 'Ethical Principles'). The 5th & 6th articles continue our insights into the mitzvah of Counting Omer, a mitzvah that we know about from this week's Torah reading, Emor, to which the story (#7) is also connected. Also, both #1 and #4 will help get you in the mood for Lag b'Omer next week, as they both present teachings from Rabbi Shimom bar Yochai |
