A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This Shabbat is the yahrzeit-hilula of Rabbi Yonatan Ben Uziel, the top student of the great sage Hillel. His
burial site in Amuka Valley, outside of Tzefat, receives tens of thousands of visitors a year, especially those that heard it is a propitious place to pray to meet one's destined marriage partner. Accordingly, the first article focuses on the theme of "soulmates." The article following provides interesting background on this seminal figure in Jewish history and scholarship . Shabbat and Sunday are Rosh Chodesh / New Moon celebration. The significance is explained in article #3 by a famous chasidic Rebbe ATTENTION! Kabbalaonline-Shop's Monthly Sale includes Special Delivery of your personal prayer to Rabbi Yonatan Ben Uziel's gravesite on his yahrzeit-hilula this week. Dedication
