A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
The 2nd article presents insights for the first chapter of PIRKEI
AVOT (the Mishnaic tractate of 'Ethical Principles'),
of which we study one chapter each Shabbat until Shavuot (and many
repeat the cycle through the last Shabbat before Rosh Hashana).
Articles #3-4 are for the unique mitzvah of "THE COUNTING OF THE OMER," over which we recite a blessings every evening of the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot. Two insights for THIS WEEK'S READING, Shemini, (articles #5-6) focus on the strange episode of the two oldest sons of Aaron the High Priest. Our lead article examines THE INTERFACE BETWEEN KABBALAH AND SCIENCE, which you should find very interesting. |
