Daily Zohar 3863
Hebrew translation:
125. בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל מְיַחֲדִים אֶת הַיִּחוּד שֶׁל סוֹד שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרָצוֹן שָׁלֵם, אָז יוֹצֵא מִתּוֹךְ סֵתֶר שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם הָעֶלְיוֹן אוֹר אֶחָד, וְאוֹתוֹ אוֹר מַכֶּה לְתוֹךְ הַנִּיצוֹץ הַקָּשֶׁה וּמִתְחַלֵּק לְשִׁבְעִים אוֹרוֹת, וְאוֹתָם שִׁבְעִים אוֹרוֹת בְּשִׁבְעִים עַנְפֵי עֵץ הַחַיִּים.
126. אָז אוֹתוֹ אִילָן מַעֲלֶה רֵיחוֹת וּבְשָׂמִים, וְכָל אִילָנוֹת גַּן עֵדֶן, כֻּלָּם מַעֲלִים רֵיחוֹת וּמְשַׁבְּחִים אֶת רִבּוֹנָם, שֶׁהֲרֵי אָז מְתֻקֶּנֶת הַגְּבִירָה לְהִכָּנֵס לַחֻפָּה עִם בַּעְלָהּ. כָּל אוֹתָם אֵיבָרִים עֶלְיוֹנִים, כֻּלָּם מִתְחַבְּרִים בִּתְשׁוּקָה אַחַת וּבְרָצוֹן אֶחָד לִהְיוֹת אֶחָד בְּלִי פֵרוּד כְּלָל. וְאָז בַּעְלָהּ מִתְתַּקֵּן אֵלֶיהָ לְהַכְנִיסָהּ לַחֻפָּה בְּיִחוּד אֶחָד לְהִתְיַחֵד עִם הַגְּבִירָה.

Zohar Terumah
Continued from previous DZ
#124
The Menorah established by Isaac that dedicated the name of the Holy One Blessed be He for the whole world to see and illuminated the light in the supernal candle. For that, the holy nation should always set their consciousness to the aspects of bed, table, chair, and Menorah to connect to the supernal world, Zeir Anpin, who is the “Holy man of God” (2 Kings 4:9). Then every day, completion would be set above and below.
Lesson;
The Zohar reveals the secret of the woman that hosted the prophet Elisha that she described as “Holy man of God”. She prepared a room (vessel) with walls (for the Shechina), using a chair for Abraham (Chessed, Right), a Menorah for Isaac (Gevurah, Left), a bed for Jacob (Tiferet, Center), and a table for King David (Malchut).
When we connect to the three columns of Zeir Anpin, we draw sustenance to ourselves in Malchut.
Later, the son of the woman of Shunem died. She put the child in the room of the “Holy man of God”, and called him. When he came, he resurrected the child to life. Later this child became the prophet Habakkuk.
A daily connection is essential to sustain a flow of life force to us, our home, and the world.

#125
When Israel does the unification of the Shema Israel prayer with proper consciousness, a light comes out of the concealed level of the supernal father and mother. This light hits the Yessod of Mother and divides into seventy lights that emanate the seven lower sefirot of Father and Mother at the level of Israel Saba and Tevuna.
The seventy lights illuminate the seven sefirot of Zeir Anpin that each of them has ten individual sefirot.
#126
The Light from Father Chokmah is called ‘fragrance’. When this light goes down to the sefirot of Zeir Anpin, the Tree brings out scents and fragrances, and all the trees of the Garden of Eden at the level of Malchut, emanate pleasant smells and praise their master, Zeir Anpin. Then Malchut is ready for the marriage ceremony with her husband, Zeir Anpin. All the sefirot of Zeir Anpin come together with desire to get unified as one. Then Zeir Anpin enters the wedding canopy ‘חופה’ (Chupa), to have unification with Malchut.
Lesson;
The Zohar explains that the spiritual unification that happens when we recite the Shema prayer is like entering the wedding canopy before proceeding to the actual unification during the Amida.
