We just began a period of three weeks from the 17th of Tammuz (Cancer) until the 9th of Av (Leo). The name came from the verse in Lamentation 1:3, it says “גָּלְתָה יְהוּדָה מֵעֹנִי, וּמֵרֹב עֲבֹדָה–הִיא יָשְׁבָה בַגּוֹיִם, לֹא מָצְאָה מָנוֹחַ; כָּל-רֹדְפֶיהָ הִשִּׂיגוּהָ, בֵּין הַמְּצָרִים”
“Judah is gone into exile because of affliction, and because of great servitude; she dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest; all her pursuers overtook her within the straits”
During this time the elements of judgment (Left) are stronger that Chessed (Right). Besides the destruction of the two Holy Temples, the history is full of negative events that happened to the Israelites. The month of Tammuz (Cancer) is full of confusion and doubts in the ways of God. The sin of the Golden calf was in Tammuz and that created a cosmic event that is repeated every year. The main impact is on the level of connection between us and the Light of the Creator. The forces of the negative side with the help of the Erev Rav has greater ability to bring chaos on us.
On the 9th of Av, at the end of the three weeks (21 days), we read the entire book of Lamentation. It is written in special orders of the 22 Hebrew letters to correction and bring the light in order that will shine 7 days after, on the 15th of Av that we know as the day with the highest level of unification between the light and the vessel..
The remedy to overcome the situation of “all her pursuers overtook her within the straits” is a stronger connection to the sources of light that is available to us. We start with the Zohar to help us get charged with the energy of love to each other. Especially during this period we should avoid conflicts because negativity can easily set a burning fire in every situation.
Until the 9th of Av, we should be carefully with every action that we do and avoid judgment as much as you can. Starting new or buying new things may include more of the aspect of judgment so we better avoid purchasing anything unless it is vital to our daily routines, personal or business.

Thank you
How can I heal
the seed of judgment ?
If a judgment seed just ‘popped up’ in our heads we should ‘kill’ it immediately with tools of light.
If it was already out we should transform it to positive by meditations and changing ourselves.
Thank you so very much Zion, I was wondering what would be the best way to get through the next three weeks,I am so grateful for this loving guidance.
May Hashem bless you and your family, as well as all of us here at DZ with extra strength and light during this 3 week period; if it so be his will.
Love light and Shalom to all
Thank you Zion. I will listen to your words.

Shalom Zion,
many many thanks, this says everything:
“The remedy to overcome the situation of “all her pursuers overtook her within the straits” is a stronger connection to the sources of light that is available to us. We start with the Zohar to help us get charged with the energy of love to each other. Especially during this period we should avoid conflicts because negativity can easily set a burning fire in every situation.”
Can we understand -- “Especially during this period we should avoid conflicts because negativity can easily set a burning fire in every situation.” -- as avoiding from inner conflicts as well (like those mea culpa…, mea maxima culpa… etc etc, instead from just connecting to Light with the “burning desire” to change that old pattern)?
Wishing all Shalom/Peace with lots of Light,
Lea
Yes Lea, self beating with guilt is not good and the negative side can use it to lower the person’s energy and steer him away from the light.
A good friend (MG) shared with me that from the PFR study he learned that because the face have two sides and symmetry reflect a good and balanced soul, so we all should seek balance in everything.
We should always seek balance.
Just great, thank you!
I was given a new name in a dream on the 15th of Av which my family now calls me, Kyla. Interesting about the high connection on that day!
Lots of love and infinite blessings,
Kyla
Your name sounds like the Hebrew word ‘כלה’ meaning ׳bride’. On the 15th of Av Malchut, the lower Shechina is considered a bride of the Light, Zeir Anpin.
You are blessed for having the Zohar in your life.
Thank you for your prompt reply and blessing! I do appreciate it. I have been reading your site for over one year and overall really enjoy it. I began studying the Torah since since I was twenty, as a Jewish woman, and now it has been over 30 years of studying, and you give fresh, insightful and deeply meaningful explanations to verses I am familiar with. I seek Divine Revelation daily, and the Kabbalah was sort of ‘downloaded’ into my body, with a somewhat different signficance to me, that of Justice or Strength being from the YHVH from the Old Testament, and that of Mercy or Power to me being from the New Testament. I now consider myself as a Messianic Jew, and I wonder what you think about this. Also, I have had the Shekinah visit me, and I went to my Orthodox Rabbi (I still attend Sabbath services in an Orthodox Shul and keep my thoughts about Yeshua to myself there) and he didn’t offer much.other than the Shekinah must of have visited me.
My family and boyfriend all saw the sparks that remained in the house for about one month, but only I saw the dark cloud with fire inside that came to my bed at night. One thing I can tell you, it taught me “the fear of The Lord” because I felt pure undiluted fear!
I bring up things you may not feel comfortable to discuss, but I look forward to your answer, what ever it may be!
With love and infinite blessings,
Kyla
To Kyla and all
This is a quick and unedited response. Please pardon my English and grammar errors. (I live and breath Hebrew and Aramaic so it is hard to keep good English)
The leaders of the Messianic Jews movement are Erev Rav that tries to draw more Jews away from the truth by providing half truth and easy way of life without restrictions and following the precepts. They pick few verses from the Bible but disregard the rest that doesn’t serve their purpose. They lack the deep understanding and knowledge of Kabbalah that is the truth. If you suggest Kabbalah Study to them they will reject it and that is the proof that they are from the Erev Rav.
Lucky believers with pure heart can’t stay longer with them because they can never fulfill a true and pure Israelite soul/vessel.
יהושע is יהו שע the first three letters YHV are for the upper levels of the YHVH name and the spelled form of is numerically 39 as in טל , ‘Dew’ (of the resurrection). שע is the root of the word salvation.
The names are codes and if one study the teaching of the Holy Ari and the Gate of Reincarnation book then they can see how wonderful the system of God is. If we cut off the Torah or any part of the Bible to serve a certain belief then we disconnect form God.
God is not a confused architect. He made one amazing system and there is a reason for everything. The first and second commandments were never changed in the book called as the ‘New Testament’. With out the source that is the Torah and Bible, the ‘New Testament’ can not exists. When you study Zohar and Kabbalah you see the truth beyond religion. Even the regular Jewish religiosity lacks the deep understanding of why we live in such a world.
Jesus and Christianity is part of the exile process and the Final Redemptio. Jesus came to the world at the time of the destruction of the second Holy Temple to lead the lost people with keeping the faith in God until the final redemption. Jerusalem and the Holy Temple were destroyed and the Israelites scattered around the world. Christianity and the gospel is a way to keep the people together with the faith in God and the Messiah until the time of the gathering. At that time everyone will connect back to the roots that are the Torah and Kabbalah.
Below are additional comments that were published in different places in the Daily Zohar.
There are the prophets of the Bible. All others are part of the Global Tikkun. Jesus appeared in the spiritual system after the destruction of the second Holy temple.
The world was about to sink in darkness, Jesus started a simple system that connected the people to God and to keep the faith in Mashiach and the future Final Redemption. At that time Rabbi Shimon went into hiding in a cave in the Galili and with his son, rabbi Elazar. They study the secrets of the spiritual system with Moses and Elijah the prophet. The secrets were revealed after they got out and written into the books of the Zohar that were concealed for over a thousand years. It was planned that the Zohar will be revealed only in the last 700 years before the coming of Mashiach.
The global tikun was meant to lead the world to global unity and bridge the gaps and separation between people. The final goal is to melt down all religions into one soul (Adam’s) with connection to the light. The Zohar bring this consciousness to the people since its revelation. The eyes of all people should be in the direction of Jerusalem with desire to see the third Holy Temple.
The concealed light of the Zohar is shining greatly now in the world with the development of global networks (Internet). The spread of this light brings people from all corners of the world to look into and share the Zohar with love and unity.
There are many great organizations and individuals that spread the Zohar on a daily basis. All of them have significant part in drawing the light of Mashiach and prepare us for the Final Redemption.
It doesn’t matter who has the special spark of Adam or Moses. We are all Adam and each one of us is part of him. Without this individual connection Adam can not be whole again.
The answer to your question is: You yourself have a spark of Adam and we are all sons of God.
Deuteronomy 14:1 “You are the children of YHVH your God”
ALL Israelites souls have roots in the Torah.
Jeremiah 29:12 “וּקְרָאתֶם אֹתִי וַהֲלַכְתֶּם, וְהִתְפַּלַּלְתֶּם אֵלָי; וְשָׁמַעְתִּי, אֲלֵיכֶם.” “And you shall call upon Me, and go, and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. ”
29:13 “וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם אֹתִי, וּמְצָאתֶם: כִּי תִדְרְשֻׁנִי, בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם. ” “And you shall seek Me, and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart. ”
29:14 “…וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִכָּל-הַגּוֹיִם וּמִכָּל-הַמְּקוֹמוֹת אֲשֶׁר הִדַּחְתִּי אֶתְכֶם שָׁם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי אֶתְכֶם--אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם, אֲשֶׁר-הִגְלֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם מִשָּׁם”
“and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, said YHVH; and I will bring you back unto the place, which I caused you to go into exile”
“All the places” means not just distance in miles but hidden from the Torah. When we seek God with pure heart we find it, no matter where we are. Our connection to God is in the soul level, not geographic or demographic.
God said that he will gather the israelites
This discussion reminds me of the teachings of Rav Ashlag, as translated and shared by Dr. Yedidah Cohen in her translations of Rav Ashlag’s work, In The Shadow Of The Ladder and also A Tapestry For The Soul. In a small group that meets via Skype we are studying Rav Ashlag’s ideas that include only allowing a half hour daily for serious contemplation of our personal flaws and areas where growth is needed. Rav Ashlag indicates that is sufficient Gevurah directed towards ourselves, and the rest of the day should be spent with Chessed directed towards ourselves and others. This teaching has helped me put into perspective the idea of balance we are considering here.
Yedidah Cohen’s website is full of written and audio teachings, and includes a 60 page ebook you can download free. Everything is consistent with what we learn here on Daily Zohar.com http://www.nehorapress.com/
Thank you Zion, I will be watching my self
Blessings and LIGHT to every one through these period
Now I understand why I had this all day persistent feeling of sadness..I just needed to be still all day and listen and when I did.. I read the Zohar portion for today and I understood what was going on- on a spiritual level-filtering down to the physical level.
Zion-
I am having difficulty with a couple things. Thank you for helping me understand your perspective. This is not negativity, but it is possibly misunderstanding. And I may not be the only reader who is misunderstanding.
The first thing is that palm and face reading as a skill seems to indicate that human beings are somewhat stuck, and that their spiritual journey may be impaired by their genetic characteristics. That simply cannot be true if there is always hope for redemption. Why would we, as students of Kabbalah, need to judge other people by their appearance? It just doesn’t match up with the other things I know about Torah and Kabbalah.
And the second thing is that leaders of Messianic churches and organizations may be in a transition phase in their own lives, and deeply involved in the process of their personal tikkun. Their motives are not necessarily malevolent as you comment seems to indicate. That is an important thing to understand. Every one of us is subject to learning and growing toward the truth as we age and as we grow. I know that is how it has worked in my own life for sure.
None of us can know for certain what another person has been called to elevate. It is enough for us to know what we, ourselves, are called to elevate from day to day, and impossible for us to know the depth and breadth of the tikkun of another.
Thank you for helping me understand.
Mia
Thank you for your thoughtful response and for printing my letter. I am happily surprised by your boldness to print it, and would have understood to some degree had you chosen not to print it. I particularly resonated with much of your letter and with Mia’s response as well. Having said that, there are Messianic and Christian sites online that do indeed connect with the Kabbalah, and Christianity’s Divinely given Jewish and Hebrew foundation.
I agree that one day we will all be united under One God and realize our brother and sisterhood with each other and our rightful place as Children of God. Until then, we must all on a personal level Be The Love to bring that day to Light.
Love and Infinite Blessings,
Kyla
Has anyone noticed the alef-tet ordering of the verses, either verse by verse, or sets of three verse, by sets of three? In chapters 2,3 and 4, rather than the correct order of ע preceding פ, as demonstrated by chapter 1 and 5; they are reversed; פ occurs before ע.
The fact that Jeremiah, the presumed author of Eicah knew full well the correct order is demonstrated in chapters 1 and 5.
**** It is very interesting to read the verses in the order they are written, and compare them to the alef-tet order by rearranging them in correct order. For instance 2: 16, 17
פָּצ֨וּ עָלַ֤יִךְ פִּיהֶם֙ כָּל־אֹ֣ויְבַ֔יִךְ שָֽׁרְקוּ֙ וַיַּֽחַרְקוּ־שֵׁ֔ן אָמְר֖וּ בִּלָּ֑עְנוּ אַ֣ךְ זֶ֥ה הַיֹּ֛ום שֶׁקִּוִּינֻ֖הוּ מָצָ֥אנוּ רָאִֽינוּ׃
17 עָשָׂ֨ה יְהוָ֜ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר זָמָ֗ם בִּצַּ֤ע אֶמְרָתֹו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוָּ֣ה מִֽימֵי־קֶ֔דֶם הָרַ֖ס וְלֹ֣א חָמָ֑ל וַיְשַׂמַּ֤ח עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ אֹויֵ֔ב הֵרִ֖ים קֶ֥רֶן צָרָֽיִךְ׃16
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
17 The Lord hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
NOW READ THE TWO VERSES IN THE CORRECT ORDER: What is revealed is that though the nations are prideful and boasting that they have overturned B’nai Yisrael and thus her Elohim; in reality He has only allowed what has happened to happen. He whistled for them to do His work. WE who know Hebrew see this secret. Sunday Churchianity hasn’t a clue.
