Hebrew translation:

56. הַבְדָּלָה בְּמוֹצָאֵי שַׁבָּת בֵּין אוֹתָם שֶׁשּׁוֹלְטִים בִּימֵי הַחֹל לְשַׁבָּת. וּכְשֶׁיּוֹצֵאת הַשַּׁבָּת, עוֹלֶה מִגֵּיהִנֹּם צַד אֶחָד מֵעַיִן הָרָעָה [ס”א מַשְׁחִית מְמֻנֶּה רַע] שֶׁרוֹצֶה לִשְׁלֹט בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל אוֹמְרִים (תהלים צ) וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ, וְיוֹצֵא מֵאוֹתָהּ דַּרְגָּה שֶׁנִּקְרֵאת שְׂמֹאל [שְׁאוֹל], וְרוֹצֶה לְהִתְעָרֵב בַּזֶּרַע שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלִשְׁלֹט עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל.
57. וְיִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹשִׂים מַעֲשֶׂה בַּהֲדַס וְיַיִן וְאוֹמְרִים הַבְדָּלָה, וְנִפְרָד מֵהֶם, וּמָךְ אוֹתוֹ צַד וְנִכְנָס לִמְקוֹמוֹ בַּשְּׁאוֹל, בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁקֹּרַח וַעֲדָתוֹ שָׁם, שֶׁכָּתוּב (במדבר יט) וַיֵּרְדוּ הֵם וְכָל אֲשֶׁר לָהֶם חַיִּים שְׁאוֹלָה. וְהֵם לֹא יוֹרְדִים לְשָׁם עַד שֶׁעוֹשִׂים יִשְׂרָאֵל הַבְדָּלָה מֵהֶם, שֶׁכָּתוּב (שם) הִבָּדְלוּ מִתּוֹךְ הָעֵדָה וְגוֹ’.

We continue with the study of Zohar Beresheet for the next four weeks until Shabbat Beresheet.

#56
The Havdalah that we do after Shabbat is to separate the forces that rule the weekdays and the holiness that rules Shabbat. Upon the exit of the Shabbat Light, when Israel says the verse from Psalm 90:17
“וִיהִי נֹעַם אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנֵהוּ.”
“And let the beauty of YHVH, our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.” a force with the aspect of the evil eye rises from one side of Genennam wishing to control the world.
The evil eye is the source of all sides of the Sitra Achra, Left and Right in the secret of Psalm 91:7
“יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּשׁ.”
“A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.”
The right of the evil eye is counted as thousands, and the left is counted as ten thousand.
Psalm 91:8
“רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה.”
“You will only look on with your eyes And see the retaliation against the wicked.”
When we look with good eyes and know between good and evil, we see the wicked get what they deserve.

#57
When Israel recites the Havdalah and bless the Myrtle and wine, they connect to the side of holiness, and the Sitra Achra leaves them and returns to its place in the level of Sheol in Gehennam. This process has the aspect of the separation from Korach and the people that followed him against Moses.
Numbers 16:21
“הִבָּדְלוּ מִתּוֹךְ הָעֵדָה הַזֹּאת וַאֲכַלֶּה אֹתָם כְּרָגַע.”
“Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.”
Hashem asked the people to separate themselves from Korah then the earth opened and swallowed them alive into Gehennam.
After Havdalah, the Sitra Achra returned to Sheol, but they will not be canceled until the Tikun of the world was completed.

Lesson;
Connection to the holiness, looking at the good aside of everything is an act of protection. If we were to follow the evil eye like the side of Korach, we might fall into the darkness of Gehennam.
The Havdalah we make after Shabbat gives us this protection. Obviously, we need to connect to holiness during Shabbat to carry that Light throughout the week. We focus on our studies during Shabbat.

Before Rosh Hashanah, we make donations as appreciation to Hashem for leading us to channels of Light that support our studies and spiritual connections. If you benefited from the Daily Zohar in one way or another, consider making a donation here Donate
