A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Welcome to our special SUKKOT-Shemini Atzeret-Simchat Torah 5787 issue (Next issue will be in two weeks, right after Simchat Torah)
* Articles 1-4 relate to four important elements of the Sukkot Festival: Lulav, Guests, Sukkah, Etrog, respectively. * Article #4, from the Zohar, also discusses the independent holiday of Shemini Atzeret. * Simchat Torah is the subject of a deep article (#5), * while #6 is for the final weekly Torah portion of the cycle that began with "Bereshit" last October. It is called "Zot Habracha" and it is read on Simchat Torah. * The story (#7) is also for Simchat Torah. Dedication
May you and yours all be inscribed for a good and sweet year - full of good health, prosperity, and personal growth. "Out with the old year and its curses! In with the new year and its blessings!" In the new year fifty-seven_eighty-seven, The 3rd Temple will descend from Heaven. |
