A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This Shabbat, in synagogue, we will hear the reading of:
(1) the weekly Torah Portion of Vayakel,
(2) the weekly Torah Portion of Pekudei, (3) the special supplementary reading of HaChodesh, and (4) the blessings for the New Moon of Nissan and (5) the rare blessing "Hazak!" for completing publicly one of the Five Books of Moses. Articles #3-7 offer kabbalistic insights into the three readings mentioned above. Articles 1-2, as you can see from their titles, bring their own fascinations. |
