A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
Special expanded TU B'SHVAT edition
Here in Tzefat, at Ascent, we will be celebrating our 28th annual Kabbalistic Tu B'shvat Seder -- see the lead article.
The second article excerpts a passage from a famous Kabbalist about a unique family practice for the Seder,
as translated and published in the special ebook on Tu B'Shvat that we are offering,
along with a second new one for the Ten Commandments, the major event in this week's Torah reading.
See the special package for both on //kabbalaonline-shop.com All in all, there are six Tu B'Shvat articles this week, plus one other for the Weekly Reading.
