Zohar Ha’azinu – Idra Zuta – Continued
Rabbi Shimon is preparing his departure from the world by revealing great secrets that he wasn’t allowed to reveal until the day of his passing. At this point, Rabbi Shimon reveals that Rav Hamnuna Saba is with them together with 70 righteous from the upper world. Then he asks his students to make a seat for Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair, his father in law. When the students heard that they were shaken because Rabbi Pinchas had already passed away. They moved to the corner of the house.
This holy event reveals that Rabbi Shimon opened great channel of Light to the world and 70 righteous souls came down to pave the way for him to the upper levels.
Rabbi Shimon taught the entire Torah, and then he taught 70 studies on the first word of the Torah,”בראשית”. These studies are called “Tikunei Zohar”. Because rabbi Shimon ‘touched’ all Torah levels he merited to have the souls of 70 great Tzadikim to come and escort him on his way up.
