111. וְרַבִּי אַבָּא אָמַר לְרַע – שֶׁהֲרֵי בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה הָיָה אֹהֶל סְתָם, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ישעיה לג) אֹהֶל בַּל יִצְעָן בַּל יִסַּע יְתֵדוֹתָיו לָנֶצַח, וְעַכְשָׁו אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד. בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה לָתֵת רְפוּאוֹת לָעוֹלָם שֶׁלֹּא יִשְׁלֹט בָּהֶם הַמָּוֶת – מִכָּאן וָהָלְאָה אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (איוב ל) וּבֵית מוֹעֵד לְכָל חָי. כָּאן נִתָּן בּוֹ זְמַן וְחַיִּים קְצוּבִין לָעוֹלָם. בַּתְּחִלָּה לֹא נִפְגַּם – וְעַכְשָׁו נִפְגָּם. בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה חֲבֵרוֹת וְזִוּוּג לַלְּבָנָה עִם הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שֶׁלֹּא יוּסְרוּ – עַכְשָׁו אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, זִוּוּגָם מִזְּמַן לִזְמַן. וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ, וְקָרָא לוֹ אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, מַה שֶּׁלֹּא הָיָה קֹדֶם.
112. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן הָיָה יוֹשֵׁב לַיְלָה אֶחָד וְעוֹסֵק בַּתּוֹרָה, וְהָיוּ יוֹשְׁבִים לְפָנָיו רַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְרַבִּי יִצְחָק וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, הֲרֵי כָּתוּב וַיִּתְנַצְּלוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת עֶדְיָם מֵהַר חוֹרֵב, וְאָמַרְנוּ שֶׁגָּרְמוּ מָוֶת עֲלֵיהֶם מֵאוֹתוֹ זְמַן וָמַעְלָה וְשָׁלַט בָּהֶם אוֹתוֹ הַנָּחָשׁ הָרָע שֶׁהוּסַר מֵהֶם בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה. יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵילָא, אֲבָל יְהוֹשַׁע שֶׁלֹּא חָטָא, הַאִם הוּסַר מִמֶּנּוּ אוֹתוֹ כְּלֵי זַיִן עֶלְיוֹן שֶׁקִּבֵּל עִמָּהֶם בְּהַר סִינַי אוֹ לֹא?

Zohar Ki Tisa

Continued from previous DZ

#111
Rabbi Aba says that the change from ‘tent’ to ‘Tent of Meeting’ is not positive. In the beginning, it was a simple ‘Tent’ as it is written;
Isaiah 33:20
“חֲזֵה צִיּוֹן קִרְיַת מוֹעֲדֵנוּ עֵינֶיךָ תִרְאֶינָה יְרוּשָׁלַ‍ִם נָוֶה שַׁאֲנָן אֹהֶל בַּל יִצְעָן בַּל יִסַּע יְתֵדֹתָיו לָנֶצַח וְכָל חֲבָלָיו בַּל יִנָּתֵקוּ.”
“Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tent that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken.”
Before the sin it was as the verse says ‘A tent that will not be taken down’, Then it became a ‘Tent of meeting’ to indicate the time and a temporary state. In the beginning, not like the current state, there was no blemish in the tent that is Malchut. Before the sin, there was a continuous unification between the moon, which is Malchut, and the sun, which is Zeir Anpin. After the sin, the unification is only from time to time. For that reason, Moses called it ‘Tent of Meeting’ ‘אוהל מועד’ to describe the spiritual state that wasn’t before.

#112
Rabbi Shimon was studying one night and with him were Rabbi Yehuda, Rabbi Yitzchak, and Rabbi Yossi. Rabbi Yehuda says we read (Exodus 33:6) that Israel lost the protection they had before the sin of the Golden Calf. Israel brought mortality to the world and the Snake could control them again. The question is what happened to Joshua that didn’t take part in the sin. Did he lose the protection he had before the sin?

Lesson;
Rabbi Elazar saw a positive aspect to the name change of the Tent, and Rabbi Aba saw the negative aspect of that. The Zohar didn’t state who is correct, just presented both opinions.

Friday is a good day to make a ** Donation, especially if you didn’t make a donation in the past week. Giving on Friday, which is an aspect of Yessod, expands the vessel for the Light and honor of Shabbat.
** Your donation doesn’t have to be given to the same place every week. You can alternate or split your donation among those who benefit you spiritually.
