This Monday night - Tuesday (3 Tammuz) coincides with the 30th yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe,
a profound student and teacher of Kabbalah, in additional to his many better known (and probably more important!) accomplishments; this issue includes a variety of teachings either by him (in translation: #1-2) quoting him (#5-6) or about him (#7).
Articles 4-6 relate directly to the main theme of the weekly Torah reading, Chukat.
The 5th article is for the 5th chapter of the second cycle of Pirkei Avot, which many continue to study on Shabbat afternoons throughout the summer, until Rosh Hashana.
