A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Welcome to our special issue for Chanukah, the 8-day Festival of Lights which started last week on Thursday night and ends this week on Friday at sunset.
The first five articles are mystical analyses for Chanukah from the teachings of acknowledged masters of Kabbalah, including a special meditation on the menorah lights. This week's Torah reading, Mikeitz, continues the theme of prophetic dreams, with two significant ones at the beginning (plus the four at the end of last week's reading) - see article #6. The seventh is a great chasidic Chanukah story. Dedication
May all our Friends, Supporters and Unique Viewers be blessed with
a bright, delightful, enlightening [rest of] Chanukah |
