A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
This week we read about the arrival of the Jewish nation to Mt. Sinai,
leading to the monumental and eternal covenant forged with G-d,
and the giving of the Ten Commandments.

The 4th commandment, "Honor Your Parents" is the focus
of this week's last 3 articles...although
#5 includes some difficult teachings from the holy Ari,
so you can skip that section without embarrassment and go straight to the commentary that follows.

In contrast, the 4th article has important material also from the Ari, on Reincarnation, and this is quite accessible.
