A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This Shabbat is known as "The Great Shabbat" ("Shabbat HaGadol" in Hebrew) --
see the 1st (straight from the Warsaw ghetto!) 2nd, 3rd and 7th articles. The 4th article is on the once-a-year blessing over budding/blossoming fruit trees — this can be a nice family activity during the Jewish month of Nissan which began last Shabbat (Seder night falls in the exact middle of this month). Next week: special PASSOVER issue. Dedication
One week from this Shabbat to the Pesach Seder!
the staff members of KabbalaOnline and of Ascent-of-Safed wish all of our readers and all the Jewish people a kosher, enjoyable, liberating, inspiring Pesach holiday and festival week. |
