A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
For the last five weeks, Israel and the Diaspora have been out of sync, with different weekly readings,
due to the differing lengths of the respective Passover celebrations.
This week we are all reading Behukotai, whether singly or combined with Behar. Therefore we will celebrate the reunification in this edition by having more insights for the shared part of the Weekly Reading (last 4 articles). Behukotai is also an annual signal that the anniversary of "Torah at Sinai" day is on the horizon; Next week already will be our special Shavuot issue. (Those of you in Israel should click to Bechukotai for articles on the Weekly Reading there. For something on ch. 5 of Pirkei Avot, go to our Avot menu page.) Dedication
from the founders of ASCENT-of-SAFED
for the soul elevation of Rabbi BARUCH-AKIVA (ben Moshe) GREENBERG, original Saturday night storyteller, and THE master of chasidic melody, who passed away on Shabbat, 20 Iyar 5772 Dedicated also to Gittel Bas Feige whose yarzeit is 24th of Iyar |
