Daily Zohar 4741
Hebrew translation:
192. וַיִּירְאוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים כִּי הוּבְאוּ בֵּית יוֹסֵף. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר, אוֹי לָהֶם לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם שֶׁאֵין יוֹדְעִים וְאֵין מִסְתַּכְּלִים בְּדַרְכֵי הַתּוֹרָה. אוֹי לָהֶם בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁיָּבֹא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לִתְבֹּעַ אוֹתָם עַל דִּין מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם, וְיָקוּם הַגּוּף וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ לָתֵת חֶשְׁבּוֹן עַל כָּל מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם בְּטֶרֶם יִפָּרְדוּ הַנֶּפֶשׁ מִן הַגּוּף.
193. וְאוֹתוֹ הַיּוֹם הוּא יוֹם הַדִּין, הַיּוֹם שֶׁסְּפָרִים פְּתוּחִים וּבַעֲלֵי הַדִּין עוֹמְדִים, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁבְּאוֹתוֹ הַזְּמַן עוֹמֵד הַנָּחָשׁ בְּקִיּוּמוֹ לִנְשֹׁךְ אוֹתוֹ, וְכָל הָאֵיבָרִים מִתְרַגְּשִׁים אֶצְלוֹ, וְהַנְּשָׁמָה נִפְרֶדֶת מִן הַגּוּף וְהוֹלֶכֶת וּמְשׁוֹטֶטֶת, וְאֵין יוֹדַעַת לְאֵיזוֹ דֶרֶךְ תֵּלֵךְ וּלְאֵיזֶה מָקוֹם מַעֲלִים אוֹתָהּ.

Zohar Miketz
Continued from previous DZ
#191
Come and see, one who walks on the path of truth is protected by the Holy One, Blessed be He so that he will not be revealed or recognized by those who seek judgment against him. But one who perverts his ways “will be known”—he will become recognizable to them.
Fortunate are those who walk on the path of truth and walk securely in the world. They fear neither in this world nor in the World to Come.
#192
Rabbi Yossi said: Woe to people who neither know nor contemplate the ways of the Torah. Woe to them when the Holy One, Blessed be He, comes to demand an accounting from them for their deeds. At that time, both the body and the soul will rise to give an account of all their actions before they are separated from one another.
Notes:
The body and soul are jointly accountable for a person’s actions, underscoring the importance of aligning one’s life with the ways of the Torah.
#193
On that day, it is the Day of Judgment, when the books containing all the deeds of human beings are opened, and the accusers are present. At that time, the Snake stands ready to bite, and all the limbs tremble before it. The soul separates from the body, wandering aimlessly, not knowing which path it will take or where it will be brought.
Friday would be a good day to make a ** Donation, especially if you didn’t donate in the past week. Giving on Friday, which is an aspect of Yessod, expands the vessel for the Light and honor of Shabbat.
** Your donation doesn’t have to be given to the same place every week. You can alternate or split your donation among those who benefit you spiritually.
