I almost forgot. I must thank my friend Yehuda Z. for calling me with his question and reminded me about tonight.
Today is the death anniversary of a great kabbalist, Rabbi Chaim Vital.

The Holy Ari came to this world mostly to teach him the secrets of Kabbalah so he can put them in writing for future generations.
Light a candle, read Zohar and Kitvei Ari and connect to his soul and energy. Meditate to have your mind opento the wisdom of Kabbalah and Zohar.

The Holiday of Purim is all about removing all negativity from the world.

Haman represents negativity created when the world was at the beginning.

Read or scan the following sections to connect to the seed of the negativity. Meditate to remove and correct this negativity. This is the power of Purim. When we read the Megilah (scroll) of Esther we are able to inject the cleansing power that bestowed on us on this day.

Bereshit 1 (Hasulam #228 in Hebrew and English Zohar)

If you have the Zohar Hasulam (Heb or Eng) then I suggest start reading from paragraph #218

This part is from Tikunei Zohar (Old page #55. Hasulam Tikkun 21 #320)

This weeks reading is Mishpatim (Exodus 21)

The Zohar opens this parasha with Rabbi Shimon saying “, הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים וְאֵלֶּה”, “Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them”, these are the laws of reincarnation. The laws for the souls coming back to this world, according to the judgment they had received based on their prior life actions.
When the Torah says “חִנָּם יֵצֵא לַחָפְשִׁי וּבַשְּׁבִעִת יַעֲבֹד שָׁנִים שֵׁשׁ עִבְרִי עֶבֶד תִקְנֶה כִּי”, If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.”, This reveals some of the secrets of reincarnation. The soul returns to the world because of its sins, or because it didn’t complete Torah and Mitzvoth in its life. By those laws, the soul is forced to come back dressed in a physical body.

One of the rare occasions where the Bible mentions a specific date is in the prophecy of Zechariah chapter 1. This date is on Monday Feb 8, 2010,  24th of Shevat, and it is important to read and connect to the prophecy of Zechariah.

If the Bible mentions the date then it is significant and important to observe.

In 1:7 we read “בְּיוֹם עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה לְעַשְׁתֵּי-עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ, הוּא-חֹדֶשׁ שְׁבָט, בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם, לְדָרְיָוֶשׁ–הָיָה דְבַר-יְהוָה, אֶל-זְכַרְיָה בֶּן-בֶּרֶכְיָהוּ, בֶּן-עִדּוֹא הַנָּבִיא, לֵאמֹר”

“Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shevat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of YHVH unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying…”

In 9:16 we find the promise of God to rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem

“לָכֵן כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה, שַׁבְתִּי לִירוּשָׁלִַם בְּרַחֲמִים בֵּיתִי יִבָּנֶה בָּהּ, נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת; וקוה (וְקָו) יִנָּטֶה עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִָם”

“Therefore thus said YHVH: I return to Jerusalem with compassions: My house shall be built in it, said the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem”

The line is the energy feed from the supernal Binah to Jerusalem, which is Malchut. It is the same line mentioned in Genesis 1:9 in the word “יִקָּווּ” and when Jacob ‘hit the place’ Genesis 28:11” וַיִּפְגַּע בַּמָּקוֹם”, the place is the point where the Line from above meets in Jerusalem. The line = “קו” is found between the first Mem מ and the Final Mem ם.

In Zechariah 3:8, 9

שְׁמַע-נָא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל, אַתָּה וְרֵעֶיךָ הַיֹּשְׁבִים לְפָנֶיךָ–כִּי-אַנְשֵׁי מוֹפֵת, הֵמָּה:  כִּי-הִנְנִי מֵבִיא אֶת-עַבְדִּי, צֶמַח.

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows that sit before you; for they are men that are a sign; for, behold, I will bring forth my servant, Tzemach.

“כִּי הִנֵּה הָאֶבֶן, אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לִפְנֵי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ–עַל-אֶבֶן אַחַת, שִׁבְעָה עֵינָיִם; הִנְנִי מְפַתֵּחַ פִּתֻּחָהּ, נְאֻם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, וּמַשְׁתִּי אֶת-עֲו‍ֹן הָאָרֶץ-הַהִיא, בְּיוֹם אֶחָד.”

“For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone are seven facets; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, said the LORD of hosts: And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.”

The servant that God promises to bring is the Mashiach. The stone is the same store that Jacob slept on when he ‘hit the place’. It has the connection to the 7 Sefirot and it exists in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. God will create opening to the light of Chokmah and remove all negativity in one day and bring the final and lasting peace.

There are a lot of codes in this special prophecy and it will take many pages to explain it

Let us pray to have the merit to see the fulfillment of this prophecy Today, Amen.

I suggest reading the full prophecy Zechariah 1, 2, and 3 from the Bible.

Please share and forward to your friend.

I was asked a good question;

“Joseph died twice. What is your take on this? The book ends with his death, sounds appropriate. Shemot starts with the brothers still alive although they could have died in the previous book, and Joseph dies again, prior to his brothers as we well know. The bothers provide the link between the books, fine.”

Joseph died once but his death is mentioned twice.

Genesis is Keter of Zeir Anpin and the last parasha is Malchut of Keter of Zeir Anpin. The whole genesis is related to the building of the Spiritual system with the 10 Sefirot. Joseph is Yessod and connects
us to Malchut. He was sent to Egypt, which is Malchut of Malchut of this world to control it and to initiate the process of the correction of the system until the coming of Mashiach.
With the words ‘Pakod Yifkod’, he mentions the final redemption.
וַיַּשְׁבַּע יוֹסֵף, אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר: פָּקֹד יִפְקֹד
אֱלֹהִים אֶתְכֶם, וְהַעֲלִתֶם אֶת-עַצְמֹתַי מִזֶּה
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying: ‘God will surely remember you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
In Hebrew “His bones” also means his essence, which is Yessod and the control over Malchut (That is why later Pharaoh went after the Israelites. They took Joseph’s bones/essence with them and Pharaoh felt without energy. Egypt could never recover from that loss)

In the beginning of Exodus we have the count of the 10 sons.. “And Joseph was in Egypt… Exodus 2:6 “And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls; and Joseph was in Egypt already.”
70 is mentioned again to point to the system of the world of action (Asiyah) with seven levels of 10 Sefirot each that was completed. 70 and 10 are connected to the final redemption. The second temple was destroyed 70 years after the first one with the 10 Martyrs paying for the sin of the brothers (selling their brother Joseph).
The 10 martyrs cleansed the sins of the “fathers” and started the process of the building toward the third and final temple.

In 1948, with the establishment of the state of Israel we started the last 70 years before “Pakod Yifkod” See more on this here: http://dailyzohar.com/?p=1430 and http://dailyzohar.com/?p=1002

The family of 70 souls, the brothers and Joseph, provide a link between the spiritual and physical worlds as well as a process of correction to the final redemption.

Jacob was destined to continue the line of Abraham and Isaac. He knew what his work was before coming to the world. He let Esau come out first to remove the negativity attached to every first born (from the first sin). He bought the blessings before Isaac was ready to give them. Genesis 25:30,31,32 "וַיֹּאמֶר, יַעֲקֹב:  מִכְרָה כַיּוֹם אֶת-בְּכֹרָתְךָ, לִי.", "And Jacob said: \’ First sell me your birthright.\’". Birthright in Hebrew is "בְּכֹרָתְךָ" spelled as "בִּרְכָתֶךָ" "your blessing". When Esau sold Jacob his birthright he also sold him his blessing. Jacob did a "Kosher deal" and Esau left to his fault.

G-d is giving a personal care for Moshe upon him leaving the world. As we know from the Zohar, Moshe was at the level of Daat (the connection Sefirah of Chokmah and Binah). It is above the physical level. In Deuteronomy 31:2, Moshe is telling the Israelites " And he said unto them: \’I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can not go out and come in anymore; " in his preparation to transfer the leadership to Joshua . Go out and come in refers to the traveling from the physical to the spiritual in order to talk to G-d. No one could see G-d and live because to see G-d you need to be spiritual. Moshe could transform himself to go between the two dimensions.

A strange question but in this parasha we have a unique situation. Somewhere in the middle of the parasha we have two verses between two unique letters.
We have large, regular and small letters in the Torah. We have the broken letter Vav in parashat Pinchas but the two nuns “ nun180“turned 180 degrees with head down…

nun180וַיְהִי בִּנְסֹעַ הָאָרֹן, וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה: קוּמָה יְהוָה, וְיָפֻצוּ אֹיְבֶיךָ, וְיָנֻסוּ מְשַׂנְאֶיךָ, מִפָּנֶיךָ. (לו) וּבְנֻחֹה, יֹאמַר: שׁוּבָה יְהוָה, רִבְבוֹת אַלְפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵלnun180

The Midrash discussed this issue and it is accepted by many that the two verses turns the Books of Numbers into three books and the Torah to have seven books.

In (Masechet Shabbat 116), Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says: “In the future this section will be moved from it current location and written in its proper place.”

When divided to five books then

Genesis = Keter,
Exodus=Chokmah,
Leviticus=Binah,
Numbers=Zeir Anpin
and Deuteronomy=Malchut.
When divided into seven then the Torah becomes:
Genesis = Chessed,
Exodus=Gevurah,
Leviticus=Tiferet,
Numbers first part =Netzach,
Two verses= Hod,
Numbers last part=Yesod
and Deturonomy=Malchut.

The Two verses are in the level of Hod. We know that Hod is the level that completes the vessel and have the ability to draw and channel the Light

Up to the first letter, “nun180” the Torah describes the building the spiritual system for us and teach us how to connect to the light. In Behalotcha, the third parasha of Numbers is related to the Kohen.

The book of Numbers starts with the parasha of Bamidbar and it deals and connects with Yisraelites or Yisrael, Naso count and deals with the Levites, Behalotcha connect the Kohen with the Menorah and the seven candles. Together they are making the vessel “כלי” for “כהן־לוי־ישראל” (read my commentary on Naso).
The Kohen connects to the Menorah, which is the plug in tool to draw the light of the supernal through the seven sefirot to our world.

This is all up to the first Nun, “” and the following two verses activated the system. The Torah (Zeir Anpin) is now in full force and the Light can flow to the world. It gives us the power to manifest desires into physicality.

The Torah is our GPS (G-d P-rovided S-ystem). In the desert, the cloud and the pillar of fire guided the Yisraelites in their travels to the Promised Land.
All we need is to follow the system.

What makes these two verses so special?
Before them the Torah was five parts (hand of G-d) and now seven parts, Zeir Anpin (six Sefirot) and Malchut (1).
Remember that Z”A is the letter “ו” of the Holy name. The physical Torah is rolled like the shape of the letter Vav.

Because the Torah is a tool for us to use in this world it needed the transformation from five to seven. The Kohen uses the Menorah with the seven candles to draw this light. It had to happen in the same parasha.

Before we take the Torah out of the Arc we recite these two verses, in order to activate the Torah as Zeir Anpin. The Arc itself is the vessel and Light of Chokmah and Binah, the Torah is Zeir Anpin and the “תיבה” Teivah, also means word in Hebrew and it is where we place the Torah for reading, the Malchut.

We need seven men to “come up”, have an “Aliya”, “עליה”, to activate the different levels and draw the Light. It is all a spiritual technology that G-d gave us to choose to connect.

Some reforms allow woman to go up to the Torah. It may look nice and advanced but it is not the technology.
Woman is Malchut and she can not channel the Light. She is the vessel, the desire and the reason for the Light to come in. That is why a Jew is someone that was born to a Jewish mother. The light goes to the vessel.
The work is for the man and that is why men need to pray/connect everyday. Women’s main spiritual work is the connection to the Shabbat, which is the seventh day, Malchut.

The first verse “ויהי־בנסע”, connect to movement, Z”A, Male, connect and draw to the Light. The second is “ובנחה־יאמר”, connect to rest, Female, manifesting the Light.
Baal Haturim in his commentary to this parasha, reveals that “בנסע” in gimatria calculation of “אט-בח” is equal to “חשמל” (electricity).
If you understand a little bit about electricity you realize that the first verse is connect to the Positive (+) and the second is to the Ground (-).

The letter “נ” that usually represent falling “נפילה” (King David used “סומך־נופלים” in the Psalms of “Ashrei”, which is in order of the Alef-Bet to support the letter “נ”). Here it is turned 180 degrees to be a tool of elevation. It is no longer a regular “נ” of falling, but a one of elevation.

“נ” has value of 50 to connect us to Binah and the two letters has value of 100 and it is the same value of “כלים” and abbreviation for “כהן־לוי־ישראל־מלכות”.
The final letter “ם” has a big connection to the final redemption and it represents a complete vessel.

The two verses, which appears as a separate paragraph in the Torah has 19 words. 12 in the first verse and 7 in the second. To add to the significance of these two verses, my friend, Ezra (Jeff) Meiliken, the mathematician, told me that the 1st verse of the Torah has 7 words and the last 12 words.

This implies a complete system. The complete cycle of Hebrew calendar has 19 years. 12 regular and 7 leap years. 12 for the 12 months and 7 for the seven planets and letters “בגדכפרת”, which according to the book of formation “ספר־יצירה”, controls the seven planets that drive the Zodiac.

There are altogether 85 letters = “פה” = mouth, which is the manifestation tool. The power of the mouth and prayer appears in this parasha as it is the first time we find in (Numbers 11:2) “וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל מֹשֶׁה” (“and Moshe Prayed”).
Immediately after the two verses we read (Numbers 11:1)

“וַיְהִי הָעָם כְּמִתְאֹנְנִים, רַע בְּאָזְנֵי יְהוָה; וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה, וַיִּחַר אַפּוֹ, וַתִּבְעַר-בָּם אֵשׁ יְהוָה, וַתֹּאכַל בִּקְצֵה הַמַּחֲנֶה.”

“1 And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of the G-d; and when G-d heard it, His anger was kindled; and the fire of G-d burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp” The negative part of the mouth came through the mouth of the people and they spoke “evil” “רַע” , Rabbi Ashlag of blessed memory explains that “רַע” is abbreviation for “רצון־עצמי” , “Selfish desire” and “רשע” (Evil) is for “רצון־של־עצמו” , “Desire for one self”.
The nation felt the energy of expressing themselves but they made a mistake and used this power for selfish desires. That was in opposite to the way of the Light and fire came to burn and removes this negativity.

The people screamed to Moshe, he prayed for them and the fire abated. He knew how to use the words to control physicality.

The nation later continued complaining that they do not have meat to eat. In short, Moshe that was in a state of above the physical levels couldn’t connect to the people’s desire. If he would do that, it would have been like death for him. He was connected to the tree of life. He brought the Torah to the people.

The midrash says that Moshe was not able to connect to his wife because of that reason. He was too high above (and that is why he never died.).

G-d instruct him to assemble 70 people and G-d used part of Moshe’s divine spirit to bestow on the 70 elder people so they can do Moshe’s work without bringing Moshe down from his level.

That created the power of prophesy among the elders and they were able to speak prophesies on that day of initiation.

The people could now get what they want (the meat) but they had a strong desire that drew again negative energy and the Light had to remove that negativity and many people died because of that.

Moshe did not or could not interfere because the elders had the duty of taking care of the people.

In verse 12:1, Miriam and Aharon talked about a beautiful woman that Moshe took. As a result of their talks, G-d appeared immediately and took them to the Tabernacle. G-d talked about the ways he connects to his prophets and when the cloud moved away, they saw Miriam leprous.

Miriam and Aharon were in a very high level. They merited the great miracles of the well of Miriam and the Clouds of Honor for Aharon.
They knew that this is the best time to use Moshe to draw the light of healing and they did. G-d’s words to them were about his choice to reveal himself to the right person.

They forced Moshe to see the energy of healing available on that time. G-d was upset about that and a result Miriam became leprous. Aharaon jumped first to talk (Numbers 12:11)

“וַיֹּאמֶר אַהֲרֹן, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה: בִּי אֲדֹנִי–אַל-נָא תָשֵׁת עָלֵינוּ חַטָּאת, אֲשֶׁר נוֹאַלְנוּ וַאֲשֶׁר חָטָאנוּ. יב אַל-נָא תְהִי, כַּמֵּת, אֲשֶׁר בְּצֵאתוֹ מֵרֶחֶם אִמּוֹ, וַיֵּאָכֵל חֲצִי בְשָׂרוֹ. יג וַיִּצְעַק מֹשֶׁה, אֶל-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר: אֵל, נָא רְפָא נָא לָהּ”

See how Aharon use the word “אל־נא” twice to make Moshe make his prayer using 5 words with total of 11 letters.
“אֵל, נָא רְפָא נָא לָהּ” . This is what Miriam and Aharon wanted to achieve and they did. They took risk on themselves for the benefits of all.

And now we have this prayer for us to use every Shabbat to draw the light of healing to us and the sick.

B”H we will merit a day of total unity with the Light, no sickness, no disease of any kind, Today, Amen.

Just before the Israelites entered the land of Yisrael, G-d revealed that the promised land is under our control, BUT, it is our choice and responsibility to connect to all the benefits that this land holds for us.

The first verse of the parasha declares the choices, the second tells us how to connect to the blessing " the blessing , if you shall listen to the… " and the third verse " and the curse , if you shall not listen to… ". You see immediately that the curse comes if you do not follow the system.
