Zohar Emor
Continued from previous DZ
#271
The commandment “בסוכות תשבו שבעת ימים” “You shall dwell in booths for seven days.” is to dwell in a sukkah. And indeed, we have established that this is to demonstrate that Israel dwells in the secret of faith (אמונה), which is the secret of “shade of the sukkah,” without any fear at all from accusers and judgments because the accuser has already been separated from them on Yom Kippur through the “השעיר לעזאזל,” the scapegoat.
Everyone who is in the secret of faith dwells in the Sukkah. As we have established, it is written (Leviticus 23:42), “All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths,” that is, those who are in the secret of faith and from the seed and root of Israel shall dwell in the Sukkah. This secret is brought forth in several places.
#272
The commandment following the dwelling in the Sukkah is to offer a sacrifice each day of the seven days of Sukkot. This sacrifice should be shared by all, in the joy of the children of Israel, because the seventy bulls offered throughout Sukkot correspond to the seventy ministers of the nations of the world. They are all connected to the Tree, which is Zeir Anpin, and their branches below extend from the root of the Tree. They are blessed because of their connection to the Tree, and although they themselves do not yield benefit, all are blessed.
The joy of Israel is in their Father above, that is, in the root of the Tree, and they give a portion of the blessings to all the other nations that have a hold and are sustained by Israel.
Lesson;
Sacrificing 70 bulls to channel Light to the 70 nations symbolizes the inclusion and dissemination of blessings from Israel to the nations, reflecting a universal aspect of Sukkot celebrations, where joy and Hashem’s blessings extend beyond the people of Israel to the entire world.
#273
The seventy bulls offered during Sukkot serve to feed sustenance to the governing ministers of the other nations. This is because of the love that the Holy One, Blessed be He, has for His children; He desires that all the ministers also love them. This encapsulates the secret in the verse,
Proverbs 16:7
“בִּרְצוֹת יְהוָה דַּרְכֵי אִישׁ גַּם אוֹיְבָיו יַשְׁלִם אִתּוֹ.”
“When a man’s ways please YHVH, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
This means that the upper accusers all turn into lovers of Israel.
When the forces above become lovers of Israel, all the more so those below.
Lesson;
When Israel performs their duties, following the laws of the Torah, they are loved and blessed from above. They also receive love from below because the sacrifices brought during the Sukkot holiday provide nourishment and sustenance to the seventy nations.
