A podcast from the Zohar
The Zohar teaches us that when we act in holiness, that is in giving unconditionally, we cause blessing and holiness to flow back to us. If God forbid we act or speak negatively, with only our self-interests involved, we bring a spirit of uncleanness into the world.
With this in mind, it examines the differences between words and actions, words being more inner draw an inner light, the light of lovingkindness. Actions, being more external, draw the illumination of the light of Chochmah, the light related to the Purpose of Creation.
The Zohar then goes on to consider the special mitzvot of Succot taking the fours species, the lulav, the myrtle the willow and the etrog and discovering how the actions that we do with them, the uniting of God’s name, shaking them in the six directions, and the encircling of the Torah with them, all bring blessing, harmony and peace to the world, via the corresponding Sephirot they invoke in the heavenly worlds above.
May they indeed bring blessings for us all this year of peace, wisdom, and harmony. chag sameach!
