I post THREE
different stories each week, with G-D's help.
"Intriguing stories of Kabbalah sages, Chasidic
masters, and other Jewish heroes"
1) an embedded
audio file on Saturday night.
2) an embedded
video file and a link to it on my YouTube channel, also on Saturday
night.
3) A link
to the printable PDF file of my weekly email story on www.ascentofsafed.com,
which is posted on this group on Thursday nights. (If you subscribe
separately to the email list, you'll receive it earlier in the week.)
Be
blessed.

Week #259--for Saturday night, April
26, 2025
PRINTABLE--on
this site:
"PASSOVER SEDER IN THE SAFED PRISON" (s1428-1170
words)
Must he
agree? In his mind he pictured sitting at a Seder table while locked in
prison with detained immigrants at the Safed jail. "Wait a moment!"
he proclaimed to himself. "Passover is about freedom. How can I possibly
celebrate that behind bars? No way!"
Why this week? 1) A main theme in this week's Torah reading, Shemini,
is the Kosher Dietary Laws; 2) Last week was the festival of the Seventh
Day of Pesach, while next week (on Nisan 30) is an annual celebration here,
"Tsfat Liberation Day."
