A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Welcome to our special PURIM issue!
Six of the seven articles are for this extra joyous festival, including translations from the Zohar, the Baal haTanya, and the Ben Ish Hai. The lead article contains an outline of all the dates and commandments you need to know for this great time in the Jewish cycle. Don't forget! This year the Fast of Esther is advanced to Thursday, because the day preceding the holiday this year falls on Shabbat. Dedication
In loving memory of
ARYEH-LEIB HAKOHEN ben Eliyahu & Malka (Leon A.) LAUTERBACH, who just passed on to his heavenly reward on Shabbat Erev Purim. |
