A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Leadership is a theme both of the weekly reading (Beshalach) and
the Jewish calendar this week (Yud Shevat is the official anniversary
of the ascension of Rabbi M. M. Schneerson 70 years ago to be the
Lubavitcher Rebbe.) See articles #3-5.
This Shabbat is also known as "the Shabbat of Song," as it contains the song sung after the crossing of the Reed Sea, when the entire entire Jewish were in a state of enlightenment. (articles #5-6) The 2nd article analyzes the theme of the entire Jewish month of Sh'vat, and also serves as a lead-in to the annual "Festival of Fruit Trees in Israel" (next Sunday night-Monday — see our special issue next Sunday and the invitation below) ATTENTION! TWO EBOOKS FOR NEXT WEEK at Kabbalaonline-Shop Dedication
By the staff of KabbalaOnline.org in respectful memory of
RABBI SHALOM SHARABI ("RASHASH"), the great Yemenite 18th century Kabbalist, whose "Siddur/prayerbook with Kavannot/mystical intentions" is still so influential today, and RABBI YOSEF-YITZCHAK SHNEERSOHN, THE SIXTH LUBAVITCHER REBBE (see next issue's lead article): two giants of the Inner dimensions of Torah, both of whose yahrzeits fall on the 10TH OF SHEVAT (this Tuesday night-Wednesday). |
