This week's Torah reading opens with a revelatory distinction between several of the holiest Names of G-D. (see article #2).
The yahrzeit of Rabbi Shneur Zalman, the first Chabad Rebbe and the author of several important mystical primers, such as Tanya, is on Monday night - Tuesday, the 24th day of the Jewish month of Tevet. The 1st & 4th articles spotlights some of his deep thought, while the 7th, a story, illuminates his Divine inspiration.
