Daily Zohar # 3667 – Shelach Lecha – The wonders of Large and small letters
Hebrew translation:
152. לְמַעְלָה מִכֻּלָּם מִינִים אֲחֵרִים וְיוֹנִים אֲחֵרִים שֶׁפּוֹרְחִים בָּאֲוִיר, עוֹלִים וְיוֹרְדִים, יוֹרְדִים וְעוֹלִים, לֹא שׁוֹכְכִים לְעוֹלָמִים. אוֹתִיּוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת וְאוֹתִיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת פּוֹרְחוֹת בֵּינֵיהֶם.
153. אִי חָסִיד קָדוֹשׁ, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָאוֹתִיּוֹת פּוֹרְחוֹת, רוֹאֶה הָאָדָם בְּאוֹתִיּוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת. כָּתוּב בָּאֲוִיר לְפִי שָׁעָה, בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. (וְהָאָרֶץ הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ וְגוֹ’, מִכָּאן חוֹזְרוֹת הָאוֹתִיּוֹת הַגְּדוֹלוֹת כְּבַתְּחִלָּה) מַכּוֹת אוֹתִיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת בָּהֶם וּפוֹרְחוֹת, וְנִרְאֶה מֵהֶן כָּתוּב, וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי אוֹר וְגוֹ’, וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת הָאוֹר וְגוֹ’. אַחַר כָּךְ חוֹזְרוֹת אוֹתִיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת וּמַכּוֹת בְּאוֹתִיּוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת, וְנִרְאֶה מֵהֶן שֶׁכָּתוּב, וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי רָקִיעַ וְגוֹ’. וְכֵן כָּל מַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית, פְּלָאוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת, וְשִׂמְחָה לָעֵינַיִם מַעֲשִׂים שֶׁל אוֹתִיּוֹת אֵלּוּ. אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁלְּכָל זֶה מְצַפִּים.

Zohar Shelach Lecha
#151
When the Tower returns to its place after reading the Torah, Malchut returns to connect with the upper Three sefirot of Zeir Anpin. The tower then shines like the sun’s light, meaning like the Light of Zeir Anpin called the sun, which Chassadim covers.
Psalms 89:37
“זַרְעוֹ לְעוֹלָם יִהְיֶה וְכִסְאוֹ כַשֶּׁמֶשׁ נֶגְדִּי.”
“His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;.”
The verse tells us that the throne is Malchut and like the sun, like Zeir Anpin. Zeir Anpin has a different throne of miracles and great wonders, but before the tower returns to the upper three of Z”A, he is also called a throne. There are fiery birds that chirp at the top of the tower. When the bird goes up, meaning when the Light of Chokmah of Malchut is revealed, the fiery birds are revealed, and their fire has judgments that push away the external forces of negativity. The birds chirp in a pleasant sound that there is nothing like.
#152
Above all of them, meaning above Binah, other kinds of birds and turtledove fly in the air. This is the secret of the elevation of Malchut to Binah; that is the letter ‘י’ Yod that enters the Light ‘אור’ of Binah, and the Light becomes ‘אויר’ ‘Air.’ When the Yod enters the air, they go down to a lower level. When the Yod leaves the ‘Air,’ ‘אויר’ and returns to Light, they go back up and so they never rest.
It is so because the large letters in the Torah that are Binah and small letters that are Malchut fly between like the letter Yod goes in and out of the ‘Air,’ ‘אויר.’
#153
When the small letters fly in the air, the reader temporarily sees the writing in large letters from Binah.
Genesis 1:1 “בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ.”
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Then the large letters, Binah, strike the small letter, Malchut. Then the Small letters go up and strike the large letters.
It is the secret of the letter Yod that enters the ‘אויר’ ’Air.’ This ‘movement’ is repeated throughout the act of Creation and brings joy to all who see it. Praise is the people that await these great wonders.
Lesson;
The word ‘air,’’אויר’ has the letters ‘אור’ that means ‘Light,’ and the letter Yod ‘י’ in the middle. The Torah scribe is called ‘Sofer,’ who starts writing every letter in the Torah with the letter Yod. Before each letter, the sofer lowers the pen to the parchment and makes a dot representing the letter Yod. Then, he lowers the pen and completes the letter. Every letter in the Torah has an energy that vibrates when we see it and read it.
The letter Yod represents the Life Force comes into the physical light and create a movement of life. Breathing pure air is important for us to absorb the life force.
Unfortunately, the evil forces in the world corrupted the ‘crown’ (Corona) of the Yod and polluted the air we breathe. The Yod, without its ‘crown’ (connection to Keter), now has a force of death.
The Torah study, especially through the Zohar, keeps the Yod and provides the necessary life force for us.
