Week of Behar - Bechukotai - Lag B'Omer 5786

Vol. 22 No. 33, 16 - 22 Iyar, 5786 / May 3 - 6, 2026

A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat WELCOME to our special LAG B'OMER issue. The first two and last articles focus on Lag b'Omer in Meron; the basic Kabbalah text, the Zohar, reflects the teachings of Rabbi Shmon Bar-Yochai (articles #3,4), and as such is an integral part of the Lag b'Omer celebration. This Weekly Reading combines two separate portions: Behar & Behukotai -- which concludes the third book of scripture — see articles #4,5 (one each). The 6th article presents insights for the 5th chapter of Pirkei Avot (the Mishnaic tractate of 'Ethical Principles'). *CHAG SAMAYACH, LAG SAMAYACH* To receive the weekly magazine in your email, go to Subscribe.
