A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
A hint to the earliest known Shabbat candlelighting can be found in this week's Torah Reading (Gen. 24 end). The lead article this week offers inspiring Kabbalistic insights for this prime women's mitzvah.
Two of the major topics in the Reading are precious to Jewish souls everywhere: Hebron and Matchmaking. The last three articles connect to these. Dedication
Iin honor of the thousands of emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe involved in outreach all over the world who are converging in Brooklyn this week.
