Zohar Emor

#141
2 Samuel 7:23
“וּמִי כְעַמְּךָ כְּיִשְׂרָאֵל גּוֹי אֶחָד בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ אֱלֹהִים לִפְדּוֹת לוֹ לְעָם וְלָשׂוּם לוֹ שֵׁם וְלַעֲשׂוֹת לָכֶם הַגְּדוּלָּה וְנֹרָאוֹת לְאַרְצֶךָ מִפְּנֵי עַמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר פָּדִיתָ לְּךָ מִמִּצְרַיִם גּוֹיִם וֵאלֹהָיו.”
“And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land—before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?”
The Zohar points to this verse that praises Israel as ‘One Nation’. Anywhere we read praise for Israel they are referenced as ‘One’ because the connection of the upper and lower is in one place that is Zeir Anpin and called ‘Israel’. The upper part of Zeir Anpin that is Chessed connects to upper levels and the lower part of Zeir Anpin that is Netzach, Hod, and Yessod connects to the Congregation of Israel. Zeir Anpin, Israel, represents the connection to the faith that is Malchut, and the Holy bond between upper and lower.

#142
The Holiday of Shavuot has the aspect of the Center Column, Zeir Anpin that is called Israel. It is the bond of faith and everything above and below as we previously explained.
Proverbs 3:18
“עֵץ חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ וְתֹמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּׁר.”
“She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.”
Because Israel holds to the Tree of Life that is Zeir Anpin they are called one. The day of Shavuot is the day of Zeir Anpin that is one because he connects all in the middle, the Center line of the Tree.

#143
Genesis 2:9
“וַיַּצְמַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים מִן הָאֲדָמָה כָּל עֵץ נֶחְמָד לְמַרְאֶה וְטוֹב לְמַאֲכָל וְעֵץ הַחַיִּים בְּתוֹךְ הַגָּן וְעֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע.”
“And out of the ground YHVH God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The Tree of Life was also in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge Good and Evil.”
The Tree of Life in the middle of the Garden includes and connects to the Right and Left lines. Pesach is the Right line, Sukkot is Left and Shavuot is in the middle. Shavuot is the day we honor and glorify the gift of the Torah that is the secret of Zeir Anpin, the Middle column that connects all sides together.
Rabbi Yehuda blessed the Merciful for opening his mind to the question and for the merit to receive the answer.

Lesson;
We celebrate Pesach and Sukkot for seven days because each day of these holidays connects us to one of the sefirot of Zeir Anpin. On Shavuot, we connect to the Torah that is Zeir Anpin as one unified connection with the Tree of Life. For that reason, we do not sleep on the night of Shavuot to benefit from the connection of Zeir Anpin between upper sefirot and Malchut.

Rabbi Yehuda blessed the ‘Merciful’ that is one of the adjectives of YHVH.
