Today, Sunday, 30 Nissan, is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Chaim Vital (see first & last articles),
the main disciple of the "Holy Ari" of Tzefat (Safefd) and the only one permitted to record his teachings.
Three stimulating articles (#2-4) about the weekly reading, Kedoshim, follow, from the Ari, the Besht, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, respectively.
This Shabbat we all study the 2nd chapter of Pirkei Avot (#5), while #6 a deep Kabbalah-based analysis of Counting the Omer.
