A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Welcome to our special Rosh Hashana issue to inaugurate Jewish year 5787.
Article #2 is about the significance of Rosh Hashana coinciding with Shabbat, while #3-4 focuses on the main mitzvah and an important custom that we do not do when 1st day of Rosh Hashana is on Shabbat: Shofar & Tashlich. The lead article, from the Zohar, is about Rosh Hashana, thefirst day of the new Jewish year, as Judgement Day for the whole year. Together with all of the above, Rosh Hashana, like Sukkot, Shavuot and Pesach, is a festival of both soul (article #5) and body (#6). The shofar article—also from the Zohar— is quite advanced, with much Kabbalah terminology. Articles 2-3 are by members of the original KOL team in Tzefat, while articles 5 & 6 are by other serious knowledgeable students of Kabbalah. Next week: Our special Yom Kippur 5787 issue (+ haftorah Teshuva + Ha'azinu) Dedication
