The Rashash – Rabbi Shalom Sharabi (1720-1777) was one of the most influential kabbalists in the past few hundred years. Said to be a reincarnation of the Ari HaKadosh, Rabbi Shalom Sharabi would enlighten the eyes of Jewry with his commentary on the Eitz Chayim as well as show the kavanot (intentions) as they are to be practised through daily prayer. His Yahrtzeit is the 10th of Shevat. Rabbi Shalom Gadaev does an outstanding job of sharing a short biography of this great Tzaddik. For further information check out the link to the Wikipedia (underlined and in blue above.) Enjoy the video!
Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher (1269- 12 Tammuz 1343) was one of the foundation builders of all of Jewish law as we have it today! He was the son of Rabbeinu Asher – known as the Rosh (“the Head” – an acronym for Rabbeinu ASher). The Rosh was one of the three pillars upon whom Rabbi Yosef Karo – the author of the Shulchan Aruch – would base his magnum opus. It is indeed the Shulchan Aruch which determines the majority of Jewish law today! Those wishing to become Rabbis must pass examinations showing competency in certain sections of his work. Ideally – a true Rav should be competent in the entire Shulchan Aruch! If that can be said of the Shulchan Aruch, then let us not treat lightly the words of the Chida – Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai, who said that without a proper study of the Tur and its commentaries, one cannot begin to determine Halachah!

Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam (1905-1994) – the Rebbe of Klausenberg was one of our generations greatest rabbis. He was known for his exceptional breadth of knowledge of all areas of Torah and his immense level of compassion for others.
Enjoy this wonderful production about the Rebbe – today – Gimmel Tammuz – on his 23rd Yahrtzeit….
