THEMES of Featured Zohar Articles
Advanced
The Divine Presence rests upon the sukkah like a mother bird.
"If a bird's nest chances to be before you in any tree or on the ground as you travel, whether there are chicks or eggs"
The Zohar interprets this verse as referring to the sukkah, called Higher Mother [Imma Ila'ah]. "In any tree" relates to the 4 species as is written, "And you shall take on the first day, the fruit of a citrus tree, branches of palm trees..." |
Intermediate
The Kabbalists of the Zohar took great pleasure in receiving Sukkah guests.
When a person
comes to dwell in the shade of the sukkah,
seven tzadikim make
their dwelling with him - not in his individual
merit but rather they come because G-d has chosen Israel as His people.
