A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Spectacularly, this week's Reading contains both the first paragraph of Judaism's primary prayer, Shma Yisrael,
AND the repetition of the first formulation of the mitzvot, The Ten Commandments, as well as a recollection of their revelation — most appropriate subjects for our first three articles and the last. The next two articles are for Tisha B'Av, the major 25 hour fast from Monday sunset to Tuesday nightfall. Dedication
In memory of Shmuel ben Gershon Halevi Juliard, who's yahrzeit falls this Sunday, 7th of Av (18th of July)
