FRIDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA-TEVILAH (טְבִילָה): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL
READING: BETWEEN AFTERNOON AND SUNSET – THURSDAY
TEVILAH (טְבִילָה): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL AFTER THE MAIN READINGS OF `PRAYER OF MANY´ THIS WEEK.
Understanding or Thought
Should one try to understand the text of The Zohar during the reading?
The Zohar describes the forms of connection between us. During the reading of The Zohar, we look for that connection which is the spiritual Kli in which the Creator is revealed, from within this same, mutual, shared desire of ours, within the Shechina (Divinity). Thus during the reading, we must think only of this and not to try to understand the text. That doesn’t help.

PRAYER FOR UPPER STATE: KABBALAH PRACTICE: UNDERSTANDING WITH HEART – practice on understanding The Upper Knowledge rather with the heart than the thought.
