Daily Zohar 4311
Hebrew translation:
293. בֹּא וּרְאֵה, כְּשֶׁנִּכְנֶסֶת שַׁבָּת, נְשָׁמוֹת יוֹרְדוֹת לִשְׁרוֹת עַל הָעָם הַקָּדוֹשׁ, וְנִשְׁמוֹת הַצַּדִּיקִים עוֹלוֹת לְמַעְלָה. כְּשֶׁיּוֹצֵאת הַשַּׁבָּת, הַנְּשָׁמוֹת עוֹלוֹת, אוֹתָן שֶׁשָּׁרוּ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל. וּנְשָׁמוֹת יוֹרְדוֹת, אוֹתָן נִשְׁמוֹת הַצַּדִּיקִים.
294. כֵּיוָן שֶׁעוֹלוֹת כָּל הַנְּשָׁמוֹת שֶׁשָּׁרוּ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל, עוֹלוֹת וְעוֹמְדוֹת בִּדְמוּת לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שׁוֹאֵל אֶת כֻּלָּם: אֵיזֶה חִדּוּשׁ הָיָה לָכֶם בְּאוֹתוֹ עוֹלָם בַּתּוֹרָה? אַשְׁרֵי מִי שֶׁאוֹמֵר לְפָנָיו חִדּוּשׁ עַל הַתּוֹרָה. כַּמָּה חֶדְוָה עוֹשֶׂה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא. מְכַנֵּס פָּמַלְיָה שֶׁלּוֹ וְאוֹמֵר: שִׁמְעוּ חִדּוּשׁ תּוֹרָה שֶׁאוֹמֶרֶת נִשְׁמַת פְּלוֹנִי זֶה. וְכֻלָּם מַעֲמִידִים אוֹתוֹ דָבָר בִּשְׁתֵּי יְשִׁיבוֹת. הֵם לְמַטָּה, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְמַעְלָה חוֹתֵם לְאוֹתוֹ דָבָר.

Zohar Shelach Lecha
Continued from previous DZ
#292
Then all Israel adorn themselves with the crowns of those holy souls, which is the secret of the additional souls of Shabbat, and all are happy, experiencing the pleasure of the Shabbat. All the righteous in the Garden of Eden ascend and delight in the supreme joy of the world to come, in the supreme Garden of Eden. After the end of Shabbat, all the additional souls fly from Israel and go up.
#293
When Shabbat comes, the additional soul levels come down to join the holy people. The souls of the righteous from the lower Garden of Eden go up to the upper Gan Eden (Teruma #176). When the Shabbat ends, those additional levels of souls who were with Israel rise, and the souls of the righteous who ascended to the upper Gan Eden descend and return to the lower Gan Eden.
#294
Since all the additional souls that were with the souls of Israel during Shabbat ascend, they rise and stand before the Holy King. He asks them what new Torah revelations they received in the world below.
Blessed are the souls with a Torah secret to recite before the Holy King. Because the Holy King makes a joyous event and gathers the supreme souls and the angels, and says, hear new Torah revelation that the soul of so-and-so says. And everyone studies that revelation in the two Yeshivahs. That is, in the Yeshiva of the Holy One and in the Yeshiva of Metat-n. The Holy One, Blessed be He, above seals the revelation.
Lesson;
The Chafetz Chaim, ZT”L said that Torah study on Shabbat has 613 times the value of study on weekdays.
The Ben Ish Chai said that Shabbat has the aspect of the world to come (connection to Binah), and since in the upper world a day is considered a thousand days (Psalm 90:4), then a study on Shabbat has a thousand times the value of study on weekdays.
When we study and receive new understanding, it is considered as a new Torah revelation of the secret.
Study on Shabbat. The recommendation is to study for six hours on Shabbat to make correction for 6000 years from the day of Creation.
