Zohar Tetzaveh
Continued from previous DZ
Leviticus 23:40
“וּלְקַחְתֶּם לָכֶם בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן פְּרִי עֵץ הָדָר כַּפֹּת תְּמָרִים וַעֲנַף עֵץ עָבֹת וְעַרְבֵי נָחַל וּשְׂמַחְתֶּם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם שִׁבְעַת יָמִים.”
“And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before YHVH your God for seven days.”

#132
The palm branches represent the Yessod, Tzadik, as it is said;
Psalm 92:13
“צַדִּיק כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּה.”
“The righteous(Tzadik) shall flourish like a palm tree; He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”
The woman represented as “the fruit of beautiful trees” “עץ הדר” is included with her husband, Yessod, without separation. For it is written as “palm branches” and not “and palm branches,” the ‘vav’ (and) would separate the fruit of the beautiful tree from the palm branches. This indicates that Yessod and Malchut are bound together. And “leafy tree” branches: the three elements represent the three lines of Chessed, Gevurah, and Tiferet. The Lulav has three branches on the right side, two on the left side, and one palm branch in the middle governing and unifying them. The willows on the left are for Netzach and Hod. They have no smell or taste, representing the human legs. The Lulav, which is Yessod, takes and includes all of them, similar to the spinal cord found in the body.
Explanation: Yessod ascends through the spinal cord and brings out a drop of seed (life force) from the upper level of Da’at in the head. This is implied by the Lulav, which extends above the myrtles and willows: Chessed, Gevura, Tiferet, Netzach, and Hod. Yessod extending above the other branches, Sefirot, indicates that the Lulav, which is Yessod, reaches the level of Da’at in the head.

#133
These species must be presented before the Holy One, Blessed be He, as they correspond to Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut, as mentioned above. The palm tree leaves allude to all the forces that unite under these names, which the Holy One, Blessed be He, is called. Therefore, we are commanded to take these four species because we need to evoke below what is above, as there is nothing in the world that does not have its counterpart above. And conversely, as it is above, so it is below, for the worlds above and below are hidden one from the other. The roots are above, as there is nothing in the lower worlds that does not find its root in the upper worlds. Therefore, Israel must hold to the roots of these four species representing Chessed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut of Atzilut.

Lesson;
The Torah laws, Mitzvot, are spiritual technologies that help us draw all kinds of Light. Even if we can’t do the mitzvah, we should study and connect to the Light of its root.
