A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This is the first week of the Jewish month of Iyar , the "Month of Healing" — see article #2.
The 3rd article connects to the initial chapter of Pirkei Avot ("Major Sayings of the Sages"), which we study on the six afternoons between the festivals of Pesach and Shavuot. Article #4 continues with our Kabbalah and Chassidic insights for the 49 days of Counting the Omer. This week's Torah reading, Kedoshim, is the subject of articles 5-7. Dedication
In honor of the yahrzeit on 30 Nissan (Wednesday this week) of Rabbi Chaim Vital,
the only disciple of the "Holy Ari" permitted to record his teachings.(see article #1) and for the soul elevation of Feiga bas Yerachmiel ("Aunt Frances" Hirsch), on her yahrzeit two days later (2 Iyar). |
