bs'D from the print version of KabbalaOnline.org Magazine KabbalaOnline.org Magazine A project of Ascent-of-Safed Vol. 19, No.28 25 Nisan - 1 Iyar, 5783 / Apr. 16 - 22, 2023 Week of Tazria-Metzorah 5783     PREFACE: There are two 'New Moon (Rosh Chodesh)' of IYAR days this week: Friday and Shabbat (see article #2). The first one, Friday Nissan 30, is also the yahrzeit of the exceedingly important Kabbalist, Rabbi Chayim Vital, (the subject of the first and last articles). This week there is a double Weekly Reading, Tazria & Metzora -- see articles #4-5 (one each). We held over the Annual blessing on Fruit Trees from last week on the home page — a nice family activity for the final week of the Jewish month of Nissan, if you haven't recited it yet.   DEDICATION In honor of the yahrzeit on Friday, 30 Nissan, of Rabbi Chayim Vital (see lead article and story), the main disciple of the "Holy Ari" and the only one permitted to record his teachings.   Biographies of Major Kabbalists Rabbi Chaim Vital         By Moshe Miller Rabbi Chaim Vital is renowned primarily as the recorder and editor of the teachings of Rabbi Yitzchak Luria; however, he too was an accomplished kabbalist and writer. [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]       New Moon   The Phases of the Moon       From the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslev Periods when the Jewish people are on a low level spiritually can be seen as times of the "incomplete moon", a time when the moon stands accused. But when a Jew arouses himself and returns to G-d, this is the "restoration of the moon" from its blemish. It is then that the "sanctification of the moon" takes place.. [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]       Seven Omer Weeks   Harvest Time       from Torat Moshe by Rabbi Moshe Alshich of Tzfat-Safed The 'omer' (a volume measure) of barley we reap is a blessing bestowed on the land; it is not the natural fruit of our labor. [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]   Weekly Torah Reading   Completely Crazy   By Shaul Yosef Leiter The fact that everything is crazy tells us that all of the forces of evil are emerging, making their very last stand, because they know their end is near. [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]       Weekly Torah Reading    Between Cedar and Hyssop      From the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov Tzara'at disease strikes a person because he lifts himself up like a cedar and refuses to accept criticism. Therefore, he should lower himself like a hyssop and accept admonishment, for this will lead to his healing and purification   [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]   Pirkei Avot - Ethics of the Fathers   2:10 The Fire of the Sages From the teachings of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef of Polonoye     At a time of "Great Mindness", one can study and pray with fear and love. A person realizes that he is speaking to the exalted King and can cling to him--there is no greater pleasure than this. In contrast, in a time of "Small Mindness," a person must wage a great battle to come close to G D; however, this is also the main source of reward, for in this case a person must force himself [to serve G d]. [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]   7) Mystical Story   A Memory Beverage By Yerachmiel Tilles   Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the "Holy Ari" of Tzefat, and Rabbi Chayim Vital went to Tiberias and walked through the town until they came to the fishing dock by the bank of the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). There they rented a small boat. [continue in the article on KabbalaOnline]

ascent@ascentofsafed.com Please Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Ben Gvir, Mr. Smotrich and Mr. Gallant unite and bring Hashem’s Righteousness back to the Har HaBayit? Under HaShem’s Righteousness the Har HaBayit shall become a Prayer House for all peoples. Jews, Muslims, and Christians when they put away Avoda Zara and their false doctrines…… By annulling that covenant made with the Islamic authorities in ’67 on the Har Habayit and all other covenants, banning all crimes and abominations by PA, Hamas and Islamic Jihad with an Iron fist declaring Jewish Sovereignty in all the Land Hashem gave the Jewish People in ’67. בבקשה מר נתניהו, מר בן גביר, מר סמוטריץ' ומר גלנט תתאחדו והחזירו את צדקת ה' להר הבית,? תחת צדקת השם הר הבית יהפוך לבית תפילה לכל העמים: יהודים, מוסלמים ונוצרים כשהם מסירים עבודה זרה ואת דוקטרינות השקר שלהם... על ידי ביטול הברית שנכרתה עם השלטונות האיסלאמיים בשנת 67' על הר הבית וכל שאר הבריתות, איסור על כל הפשעים והתועבות שנעשות על ידי הרשות הפלסטינית, חמאס והג'יהאד האסלאמי. והכרזת ריבונות יהודית על כל ארץ ישראל.   Come let us Pray that Hashem's Righteousness shall 'return' to the Har haBayit and the whole of Eretz Israel. בוא נתפלל שצדקת ה' 'תשוב' להר הבית ולארץ ישראל כולה. Free to study all Jewish Scripture: חופשי ללמוד את כל כתבי הקודש היהודיים: Sefaria Calendar - לוח שנה ספריה     Our Prayer and hope: All the gates to the Har haBayit have to be opened for Jews and non-Jews seven days in the week 24 hours a day. The Jews need to have the freedom to go with Tefillin, Tallit and Torah Scroll up on the Mountain to serve Hashem. And do קידה ('Kidah' prostate, laying down, before Hashem) Everyone showing his/her respect for the Jewish and all other religions. But NOT for the words/deeds/sins spoken against any word of the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu and the 'real' teachings of the Jewish Rabbis. The Jews must be the guardians of the Har haBayit. תפילתנו ותקוותנו: כל שערי הר הבית צריכים להיפתח עבור יהודים ולא-יהודים שבעה ימים בשבוע 24 שעות ביממה. ליהודים צריך להיות חופש ללכת עם תפילין, טלית וספר תורה במעלה ההר כדי לשרת את ה' ולקוד קידה .מתוך הפגנת כבוד ליהודים ולכל הדתות האחרות, אבל לא למילים/למעשים/לחטאים הנאמרים נגד תורת משה רבנו. מלמודי רבנים, היהודים חייבים להיות שומרי הר הבית.     Let's pray for a death sentence for the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Hezbollah and for the continuation of the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria. The Palestinian Authority, Hamas and Hezbollah must disappear. Enough of the hatred from the world (the USA, the European Union, and the UN!) against the Jewish people.   בואו נתפלל לגזר דין מוות לרשות הפלסטינית, חמאס, חיזבאללה ולמען התיישבות יהודית ביהודה ושומרון. הרשות הפלסטינית, חמאס וחיזבאללה חייבים להעלם. די לשנאה מהעולם (ארה"ב, האיחוד האירופי והאו"ם!) נגד העם היהודי! The Jews have the mission to change the Har HaBayit, from her situation now, into a Prayer House for all peoples based on the Torah Law of Moshe Rabbeinu.   על היהודים מוטלת המשימה לשנות את הר הבית, ממצבו הקיים, לבית תפילה לכל העמים על פי חוק התורה של משה רבנו.   Ariel, hopefully your Representee אריאל, מקווה שהנציג שלך     Click: If you have Prayer Requests By Har HaBait Jewish Sovereign for all Israel I pray as a Jew when I bring your prayers.
