A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Welcome to our special Chanukah issue.
The first two articles offer Kabbalistic insights into two vastly different Chanukah customs. The additional 8th article — because of the eight nights and lights of Chanukah, of course — is appropriately titled "Who Knows Eight?" The 5th & 6th article is for the Torah reading of the week, Miketz, from two of the most important, if not the most important, classic Kabbalah sources. |
