Zohar Acharei Mot
It’s about time

After the death of Aaron’s sons, God sends Moses to tell Aaron that he can’t approach the holy at any time.

Leviticus 16:2
“וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, דַּבֵּר אֶל-אַהֲרֹן אָחִיךָ, וְאַל-יָבֹא בְכָל-עֵת אֶל-הַקֹּדֶשׁ, מִבֵּית לַפָּרֹכֶת–אֶל-פְּנֵי הַכַּפֹּרֶת אֲשֶׁר עַל-הָאָרֹן, וְלֹא יָמוּת, כִּי בֶּעָנָן, אֵרָאֶה עַל-הַכַּפֹּרֶת”
“YHVH said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die; for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1
“לַכֹּל, זְמָן; וְעֵת לְכָל-חֵפֶץ, תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם”
“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven”

The Zohar brings several quotes to teach us that there’s time for everything. There is time for praying and asking for blessings. There is time when even if we pray we won’t find the will of the Creator and blessings won’t come. There is time for judgments and there is time when a decree is hanging above the world but won’t be activated, and time when judgments affect everyone.

The two verses below teach us that there is an aspect of ‘far’ and ‘near’ in our relation to our prayers and YHVH.

Psalms 10:1
“לָמָה יְהוָה, תַּעֲמֹד בְּרָחוֹק תַּעְלִים, לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָה”
“Why do You stand afar off, YHVH? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?”

Psalms 145:18
“קָרוֹב יְהוָה, לְכָל-קֹרְאָיו לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאֻהוּ בֶאֱמֶת”
“YHVH is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth”

King David taught us a lot about prayers. On Shabbat afternoon, we recite the verse below to connect our prayers with the time of the will of the Creator.
We know that the will of the Creator to create the worlds came to ‘light’ on Shabbat afternoon. Praying and meditating at this time connects us to the same energy that was revealed at that time. Because God wanted to create the world in order to benefit us. Our prayers have greater support to be heard and answered.

Psalms 69:14
“וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּתִי-לְךָ יְהוָה, עֵת רָצוֹן”
“But as for me, my prayer is to You, YHVH, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your loving kindness, Answer me with Your saving truth.”

The prophet Isaiah tells the Israelites to pray in time to bring Light to the world and reap the benefits.

Isaiah 55:6
“דִּרְשׁוּ יְהוָה, בְּהִמָּצְאוֹ; קְרָאֻהוּ, בִּהְיוֹתוֹ קָרוֹב”
“Seek YHVH while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.”

The world is dry and the negativity spreads wide. The Kabbalah organizations raise big flags but they do very little to really make proper prayers and draw Light to the world. They dilute the prayers by making everything light and fun or rush through the prayers just to finish it.
They should teach more about the importance of prayers. Shabbat service is not a social gathering for community hugging. This can be done before and after a serious prayer connections that brings Light to the world.
Instead of having 180 minutes of corrupted players with no real chance to go up, it would be better to have a 90 minutes focused prayer then another 90 minutes of social bonding with fun and hugs.

If we want to come near YHVH and benefit from the Light we need to do it in a proper and true way.

Psalms 145:18
“קָרוֹב יְהוָה, לְכָל-קֹרְאָיו לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאֻהוּ בֶאֱמֶת”
“YHVH is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth”

Students from the KC and Bnei Baruch, among many others, come to study on the Daily Zohar because they feel that they need more. They don’t get enough in their organization because they dilute the teaching of Kabbalah in order to attract more members and more ‘fees’. Everyone can teach moral and social responsibility, the internet is full of them. What we really need is to draw more Light using proper prayers and spiritual connections during different events.
