‫משניות‬
‫באותיות השם‬
‫משנה • נשמה‬
‫יו"ל לרגל יום הגדול והקדוש‬
The mystics teach that the
word “Mishnah” shares the
same letters as “neshamah,”
the Hebrew word for soul.
‫יום ההילולא של‬
Thus, out of the broad corpus
of Torah literature, Mishnah
— the terse teachings that
form the backbone of the
Talmud —are the subject of
choice when we study Torah in
the merit of the souls of our
beloved.
‫ג' בתמוז‬
