A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This week's Torah portion, Ki Tisa, contains two pivotal events in the relationship between the Almighty and the Jewish people:
the sin of the Golden Calf and subsequently gaining forgiveness for that sin (articles 3 - 5). The 2nd article relates to the famous Shabbat section (31:12-17) in the Reading. We also read an additional Torah section in Shul, called "Parah" (article 5) in preparation for the Passover Festival. Dedication
In memory of Gedaliah Shaffer, whose 6th yahrzeit is on
17 Adar (see article #1)
And in honor of Rabbi Shaul Leiter, the executive director of KabbalaOnline's parent organization, Ascent-of-Safed, on the occasion of his BIG birthday on Shushan Purim. And |
