The 3rd article connects to the 6th chapter of Pirkei Avot ("Major Sayings of the Sages"), which we study on the six Shabbat afternoons between the festivals of Pesach and Shavuot
This week's Torah reading of Bamidbar is the subject of articles #4-7. (Article #4 is a quite accessible teaching from the "Holy Ari," leader of the 16th century Tzefat kabbalists.)
Articles #5-7 also provide excellent preparation for the Shavuot festival, as does the lead article, which offers Kabbalah insights into the fourth of the Ten Commandments.
NEXT WEEK: our special SHAVUOT edition.
