A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Welcome to our Special PESACH issue
This Shabbat is "the Great Shabbos" - the Shabbat that precedes Passover (see the lead article - straight from a Nazi concentration camp!!) The 4th is about a special blessing for fruit trees that is best said in the Jewish month of Nissan, i.e. within the two weeks before or after the First Day of Pesach. (This can be a nice family activity during the weekdays of the
festival, if you haven't recited it yet.)
The next-to-last article is for the Torah reading—Tzav;
the rest are all for the Pesach festival: from the Zohar, the holy Ari
of Tzefat, and others.The Pesach story (last article) involves the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the anniversary of whose birthday falls this Friday. The 5th article cites some of his Pesach teachings. Dedication
The Passover Festival begins at sundown,
Monday March 25, and ends at nightfall, Monday April 1 here in Israel,
(at nightfall on the following night outside of the Land of Israel).
The staff of KabbalaOnline wishes all our readers and all the Jewish people a kosher, enjoyable, liberating, inspiring Pesach holiday and festival week. |
