HOCHMA: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
A SAGE IS PREFERABLE TO A PROPHET
Rashbi and his generation, the authors of The
Zohar, who were granted all 125 degrees in completeness,
even though it was prior to the days
of the Messiah. It was said about him and his
disciples: “A sage is preferable to a prophet.”
Hence, we often find in The Zohar that there
will be none like the generation of Rashbi until
the generation of the Messiah King. This is
why his composition made such a great impact
in the world, since the secrets of the Torah in
it occupy the level of all 125 degrees.
Hence, it is said in The Zohar that The
Book of Zohar will be revealed only at the End
of Days, the days of the Messiah. This is so because
we have already said that if the degrees
of the students are not at the full measure of
the degree of the author, they will not understand
his intimations, since they do not have
a common attainment.
And since the degree of the authors of
The Zohar is at the full level of the 125 degrees,
they cannot be attained prior to the
days of the Messiah. It follows that there will
be no common attainment with the authors
of The Zohar in the generations preceding the
days of the Messiah. Hence, The Zohar could
not be revealed in the generations before the
generation of the Messiah.
