Hebrew translation:

176. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְרַבִּי חִיָּיא הָיוּ הוֹלְכִים בַּדֶּרֶךְ. אָמַר רַבִּי חִיָּיא, כְּשֶׁחֲבֵרִים הוֹלְכִים בַּדֶּרֶךְ, צְרִיכִים לָלֶכֶת בְּלֵב אֶחָד, וְאִם נִפְגְּשׁוּ אוֹ שֶׁהוֹלְכִים עִמָּם הָרְשָׁעִים שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם, אוֹ בְּנֵי אָדָם שֶׁאֵינָם מֵהֵיכַל הַמֶּלֶךְ, צְרִיכִים לְהִפָּרֵד מֵהֶם. מִנַּיִן לָנוּ? מִכָּלֵב, שֶׁכָּתוּב (במדבר יד) וְעַבְדִּי כָלֵב עֵקֶב הָיְתָה רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת עִמּוֹ וַיְמַלֵּא אַחֲרָי. מַה זֶּה רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת? שֶׁנִּפְרַד מֵאוֹתָם מְרַגְּלִים, שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם יג) וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד חֶבְרוֹן. שֶׁנִּפְרַד מֵאוֹתָם מְרַגְּלִים וּבָא לְבַדּוֹ לְחֶבְרוֹן לְהִשְׁתַּטֵּחַ עַל קִבְרֵי הָאָבוֹת.
177. וְחֶבְרוֹן נִתְּנָה לוֹ חֵלֶק יְרֻשָּׁה לְהַחֲזִיק בָּהּ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים א) וְלוֹ אֶתֵּן אֶת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר דָּרַךְ בָּהּ. לָמָּה נָתְנוּ לוֹ אֶת חֶבְרוֹן? אִם מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהִשְׁתַּטַּח בְּקִבְרֵי הָאָבוֹת לְהִנָּצֵל מֵאוֹתָהּ עֵצָה שֶׁלָּהֶם שֶׁנִּצַּל – לֹא!

Zohar Vaera
Continued from previous DZ
#176
Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Chiya were walking on the way. Rabbi Chiya said: The companions, when they are on the way, need to walk with one heart. And if it happens to them, or they go among the wicked of the world, or people who are not from the palace of the King, they need to separate from them.
From where do we have this? From Caleb, as it is
written: “וְעַבְדִּי כָלֵב עֵקֶב הָיְתָה רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת עִמּוֹ”, “And My servant Caleb, because there was another spirit with him” (Numbers 14:24).
What is “another spirit”? It is that he separated from the spies, as it is written: “וַיַּעֲלוּ בַנֶּגֶב וַיָּבֹא עַד חֶבְרוֹן”, “And they went up into the South, and he came to Hebron” (Numbers 13:22), where it should have said ויבואו (vayavo’u, and they came), in plural. But because he separated from the spies and he came alone to Hebron to prostrate himself upon the graves of the patriarchs, therefore it is said about him “וַיָּבֹא עַד חֶבְרוֹן”, “and he came to Hebron,” in singular.
#177
And Hebron was given to him as a portion and inheritance to strengthen himself in it, as it is said: “וְלוֹ אֶתֵּן אֶת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר דָּרַךְ בָּהּ”, “And to him I will give the land that he trod upon” (Deuteronomy 1:36).
He asks, “Why was Hebron given to him?” Because he prostrated himself on the graves of the patriarchs to be saved from the counsel of the spies, and he was indeed saved.
Notes:
Prostrating at the graves of Tzadikim is not an act of worship, but a form of deep spiritual alignment and humility. The Zohar explains that the souls of the righteous do not depart from this world; rather, they remain connected to their resting places and continue to radiate spiritual light. When a person bows or prostrates at a Tzadik’s grave, they are symbolically nullifying their ego (bitul) and opening themselves to receive influence from the elevated soul of the Tzadik. This posture reflects submission to Divine will and creates a vessel for blessing, inspiration, and inner purification. In Kabbalah, such moments can awaken merit from above, strengthen one’s connection to the Shechinah, and help the person realign their soul with holiness, repentance, and spiritual clarity.

{||}

Friday is a powerful and auspicious time for tzedakah.
If you were unable to give during the past week, this is the perfect moment to open your heart and your hand.
In the inner teachings of Kabbalah, Friday corresponds to Yessod — the channel through which Divine blessing flows into the world.
When we give tzedakah on Friday, we expand our spiritual vessel, draw greater Light, and prepare ourselves to receive the holiness and honor of Shabbat in a more elevated way.
