"The Infamous
Circle of Blood"
Do not underestimate
the power of a Kabbalist, especially one of the caliber of Rabbi
Yehuda Fetayah zt'l
Why This Week?
R. Yehudah Petayah knew how to test a person to see if he was deluded
and imagining things that are not true or really was having an other-worldly
experience." Chapter 13 in this week's Torah reading, Re'eh, is mostly
about how to deal with false prophets and missionaries.
