A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
The long discourses in the Zohar about the Jewish doctrine of reincarnation evolve from this week's Torah reading (see first four articles). An additional section about the half-shekel is also read (see following two articles — including an amazing story). In the final article, possible spiritual dimensions of a certain major event in the world this week are explained.
Dedication
By the staff of KabbalaOnline and Ascent-of-Safed for the soul elevation of
Chana bat Asher, wife of Rabbi Mordechai "Big Mo" Siev, who passed on above on 18 Shvat (2/2/10). May the Al-mighty comfort him and their children and their whole extended family, amidst all the mourners of Tsion and Yerushalayim. |

Divine Matrimony
— The relationship between G-d and the Jews is like that between husband and wife.
According to the Midrash, G-d allegorically fulfills all the precepts that He commanded the Jewish people. Since G-d is considered the husband of the Jewish people, thus He is "obligated" to provide His people with food, clothing, and conjugal rights as His basic obligations to His wife. |

Superbowl and Chassidut
— In football too, you sometimes have to "give up your body" to break the wedge or throw a down-field block, which is a kind of self-sacrifice for the cause.
