A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Our lead article, stressing the importance of education in Judaism — and the importance of Judaism in 'Jewish education'! — is from the Rebbe Rayatz of Chabad, whose birthdate in 1880 and miraculous liberation date in 1927 coincides with this Tuesday.
The weekly reading of Balak contains the most basic prophecy about the coming of Moshiach, as the Rambam (Maimonides) explains. The 3rd article presents Q & A on this topic. The 17th of Tammuz is the dawn-to-nightfall fast day commemorating the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem, leading to the destruction of the Holy Temple on the 9th of Av, three weeks later. Since this year it falls on [this] Shabbat, the fast is postponed until the following day, Sunday. Dedication
In tribute to Chaim Ben-Atar, the "Ohr HaChaim" of blessed memory (see article #6), whose yahrzeit falls on Thursday of this week.
