A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
We are often asked about Zohar translations. One of the most impressive yet least known is the e-book by R. Peretz Auerbach of the Old City of Jerusalem. Its opening section constitutes this week's first article.
This week we read combine two Weekly Readings. Article #4 offers deep insights into the first, as does the 6th into the second reading. The article in-between discusses the significance of combining the two into one. One of them is by Rabbi Avraham Brandwein, the Strettener Rebbe, a significant Kabbalist in the generation who unfortunately passed away ten weeks ago. May he rest in peace and may his memory be for us a blessing. ATTENTION!
