A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
From the opening verses of this his week's Torah Reading we learn about hospitality from our patriarch Abraham (articles #1, 5-7),
and the mitzvah of visiting the sick from G‑d Himself. Therefore, our lead article features
an analysis by a classic Safed Kabbalist of the mystical principles underlying deeds of kindness.
The third article contains the explanation for why thousands of people will pour into Tzefat this week. Dedication
by Yerachmiel Tilles .
In memory of three great Jews and dear friends . on the occasion of their 11th and 10th and 7th yahrzeit respectively:. Zvi-Yehuda Saks of Pittsburgh . Shabtai HaKohen Cobin of Tzefat . Chanan-Velvel Feld of Berkeley, CA. The first two on 14 Cheshvan (2016: Nov. 15,) and the last four days earlier. |
