Daily Zohar # 2078 – Vayikra – Is there anyone to answer
.
Hebrew translation:
48. וְלֹא עוֹד, אֶלָּא שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל מַשְׁלִימִים אֶת הָאֱמוּנָה בָּאָרֶץ, וְיִשְׂרָאֵל הֵם שְׁלֵמוּת הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ. וּכְשֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל נִשְׁלָמִים בְּמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם, כִּבְיָכוֹל הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ נִשְׁלָם. וּכְשֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל לֹא נִשְׁלָמִים לְמַטָּה בְּמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם וּמִתְחַיְּבִים גָּלוּת, כִּבְיָכוֹל הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ לֹא שָׁלֵם לְמַעְלָה. שֶׁשָּׁנִינוּ, זֶה עוֹלֶה וְזֶה יוֹרֵד. יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה עוֹלֶה לְמַעְלָה – כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל יוֹרֶדֶת לְמַטָּה. הִתְרַחֲקוּ זֶה מִזּוֹ, כִּבְיָכוֹל נִשְׁאָר הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בְּלִי שְׁלֵמוּת, וְהַכֹּל מִשּׁוּם שֶׁכְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּגָּלוּת.
49. וְאַף עַל גַּב שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל בַּגָּלוּת, הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא נִמְצָא בֵינֵיהֶם, וּבָא וּמַקְדִּים לְבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת, וְקוֹרֵא וְאוֹמֵר, (ירמיה ג)שׁוּבוּ בָנִים שׁוֹבָבִים אֶרְפָּא מְשׁוּבוֹתֵיכֶם. וְאֵין מִי שֶׁיָּעִיר אֶת רוּחוֹ. וְאָז הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אוֹמֵר, מַדּוּעַ בָּאתִי וְאֵין אִישׁ קָרָאתִי וְאֵין עוֹנֶה. הִקְדַּמְתִּי – וְאֵין אִישׁ, וְאֵין מִי שֶׁיָּעִיר אֶת רוּחוֹ.

Zohar Vayikra
Isaiah 49:3
“וַיֹּאמֶר לִי עַבְדִּי אָתָּה יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר בְּךָ אֶתְפָּאָר”
“He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, In Whom I will show My glory.”
The Zohar explains that the Light is always with the Israelites because they have the faith and the ability to unify upper and lower levels.
“My Servant, Israel” is Jacob, who is the father of all the children of Isarel. The word for ‘My Glory’ , ‘אתפאר’, connects to Tiferet and the Central column, like Jacob, Israel.
Because of this special relationship, God can come to all Israelites even if they are in exile, especially when they come to the synagogue to pray, he’s already there to accept their prayers. But there is a problem and the prophet Isaiah tells it to us in the name of God.
Isaiah 50:2
“מַדּוּעַ בָּאתִי וְאֵין אִישׁ, קָרָאתִי וְאֵין עוֹנֶה–הֲקָצוֹר קָצְרָה יָדִי מִפְּדוּת, וְאִם-אֵין-בִּי כֹחַ לְהַצִּיל; הֵן בְּגַעֲרָתִי אַחֲרִיב יָם, אָשִׂים נְהָרוֹת מִדְבָּר, תִּבְאַשׁ דְּגָתָם מֵאֵין מַיִם, וְתָמֹת בַּצָּמָא”
“”Why was there no man when I came? When I called, why was there none to answer? Is My hand so short that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke, I make the rivers a wilderness; Their fish stink for lack of water And die of thirst”
The problem is that people don’t make a proper spiritual connection. The people know that God has the power and yet they don’t listen to the Light. They are all busy with their ‘social clubs’, forgetting about the main purpose of life. There are many spiritual Idiots and bad teachers. I am really getting angry more and more as I see them leaving the righteous path for the sake of temporary fulfilment.
God is everywhere with the Israelites but they need to gather in the synagogues and pray together with the right consciousness, meditating to connect to the Light and not to the clock, gossip and food.
You, the regular student of the daily Zohar, are ‘lucky’ to be here and stay faithful to the Zohar and the Light with me and many others. You may also go to a social club for some social recognition and acceptance but you should take the responsibility to share this true study of the Zohar.
