It&rsquo;s the first month of the year and begins six &lsquo;male&rsquo; months. On Rosh Hashanah we have a judgment day and it starts the six &lsquo;female&rsquo; months. Nisan is considered as the month of joy and Redemption. We don&rsquo;t visit cemeteries unless it&rsquo;s for Tzadikim. There&rsquo;s a great Light revealed in Nisan and it grows from the first day of Nisan until the fifteenth, when we follow the Seder process to connect to the complete revelation of the Light of <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Zeir Anpin&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Literally means &amp;#039;Small Face&amp;#039;.

The Light from the upper three Sefirot of Chokmah, Binah, and Da&amp;#039;at comes to Malchut through Zeir Anpin.The Torah is Zeir Anpin, a channel that connects us to the upper three Sefirot through Binah. Our connection to Zeir Anpin is through Yessod by studying the Torah on all levels. Doing good, Tzedakah, and all kinds of sharing.Zeir Anpin also called Tiferet, is the name of the Sefira in the center of the Tree.&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=zeir-anpin\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Zeir Anpin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every day of the first days of Nisan is a seed for the future corresponding month. We should put extra efforts to be at our best so we can &lsquo;plant&rsquo; better seeds for the future month. Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech ZT&rdquo;L in his book &lsquo;Igra D&rsquo;Kala&rsquo;, in the commentary to the portion of Pekudei, writes that people with pure <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Vision&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;The Power of Vision in Talmud and Kabbalah&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;In Jewish thought, the faculty of &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;sight&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;re&rsquo;iyah&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt; - &#1512;&#1488;&#1497;&#1492;) is more than a mere physical sense; it is a gateway to the soul and a conduit for spiritual influence. The &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Talmud and Kabbalah&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; emphasize that what a person chooses to see&mdash;whether positive or negative&mdash;has a profound effect on their thoughts, emotions, and spiritual state. Vision is not passive; it actively shapes reality, influencing both the observer and what is observed.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;quot;A Person is Led in the Way They Desire to Go&rdquo;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;The Talmud (Makkot 10b) states, &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&#1489;&#1491;&#1512;&#1498; &#1513;&#1488;&#1491;&#1501; &#1512;&#1493;&#1510;&#1492; &#1500;&#1497;&#1500;&#1498; &#1489;&#1492; &#1502;&#1493;&#1500;&#1497;&#1499;&#1497;&#1503; &#1488;&#1493;&#1514;&#1493;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;&amp;quot;A person is led in the way they desire to go.&rdquo; This means that where a person &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;directs their vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, whether toward good or evil, determines the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;spiritual pathways opened to them&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. If one looks for &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;holiness, beauty, and divine wisdom&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, they draw those forces into their soul. Conversely, if they gaze upon impurity or negativity, they become spiritually tainted and distanced from Hashem.The story of the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;spies (meraglim) in Parashat Shelach&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; illustrates this concept. Ten of the twelve spies sent to scout the Land of Israel returned with &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;a negative vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;they saw the difficulties rather than the divine promise. Their perception led to national despair and the decree of wandering in the desert for forty years. The Midrash explains that their failure was not just in speech but in &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;how they chose to see&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;instead of seeing the land&rsquo;s potential, they focused on obstacles. This teaches us that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;perception shapes reality&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, and negativity can distort the truth.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Vision as a Creative Force in Kabbalah&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Kabbalah teaches that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;sight is an act of creation&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;what we fixate on becomes energized in our consciousness. This idea is deeply rooted in the concept of &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Ayin Hara (the Evil Eye)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, where negative perception can project harmful energy upon others. The Zohar explains that a jealous or judgmental gaze &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;activates forces of judgment (Dinim) in the spiritual realms&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, potentially causing harm to the one being looked at and the one doing the looking.On the other hand, &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Ayin Tovah (the Good Eye)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; represents the ability to see &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;divine goodness in everything&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. The Baal Shem Tov taught that &amp;quot;a person sees in others what exists within themselves.&rdquo; When we cultivate a &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;positive vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, focusing on the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;inner goodness&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; of others and of the world, we align ourselves with divine mercy (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Chesed&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) and elevate both ourselves and those around us.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;The Eyes as the Window to the Soul&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;The Kabbalists explain that the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;eyes are the windows to the soul&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; and that everything we see leaves an imprint on our inner being. This is why &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;guarding one&rsquo;s vision&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Shmirat HaEinayim&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) is such a fundamental concept in Jewish ethics. When a person sees &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;holy images&mdash;Torah, mitzvot, acts of kindness&mdash;it strengthens their spiritual sensitivity&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. When they expose themselves to impurity, it desensitizes them and clouds their perception of divine truth.The &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Tikkunei Zohar&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; teaches that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Adam and Chavah&rsquo;s sin in the Garden of Eden began with sight&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;Chavah &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;saw&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; that the fruit was desirable, and this visual temptation led to spiritual downfall. This teaches us that &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;what we allow ourselves to see directly influences our actions and spiritual trajectory&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Transforming Vision into a Tool for Elevation&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;The ultimate rectification (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Tikkun&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) of vision is to train ourselves to &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;see the divine spark in all things&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;. The Tzaddikim teach that even in times of darkness, we must focus on the hidden light (&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Or HaGanuz&amp;lt;\/em&amp;gt;) within every situation. This is why the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Tzaddikim always see hope, potential, and holiness&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; where others may see only obstacles.When we refine our vision&mdash;looking at others with kindness, seeking Hashem&rsquo;s presence in the world, and maintaining faith in His plan&mdash;we align ourselves with divine blessing. As the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;book of Tehillim (Psalms 121:1)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; declares: &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&#1488;&#1513;&#1488; &#1506;&#1497;&#1504;&#1497; &#1488;&#1500; &#1492;&#1492;&#1512;&#1497;&#1501; &#1502;&#1488;&#1497;&#1503; &#1497;&#1489;&#1488; &#1506;&#1494;&#1512;&#1497;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&mdash;&amp;quot;I lift my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come?&rdquo; Looking upward, toward the &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;spiritual heights&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, ensures that our vision becomes a force of &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;light, transformation, and connection to the Divine&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;.&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=vision\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">vision<\/a> can see the future of what will&nbsp;happen in the future month. He brings a story about another Tzadik that meditates every day for the corresponding month until the month of Av because he saw that on that month he is going to be called to heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Tzadikim suggest praying and meditating everyday to have the best year. We want to have a perfect year so we need to be perfect every day. Focusing on purity and positivity in every thought and action. I strongly suggest scanning the entire chart of the 72 names and not individual names.<\/p>\n<p>I am not sure about the benefit of some individual names. Names are forms of angels that channel specific energy. If they are not used with proper Kabbalistic knowledge then the outcome could be the opposite of what expected. As far as I have checked, I didn&rsquo;t see anywhere in the Zohar references to specific names from the 72 names. Only the entire chart in different orders.<br>\nIt would be even better to use the 72 names prayer that I recorded following the script of a famous Kabbalist. Check the links below to watch videos with explanation and the full prayer.<br>\nWe can add meditation on the one or two letters of the month and reading\/scanning the related chapter from the Book of Formation, &ldquo;Sefer Yetzirah&rdquo;. Link to a PDF below.<\/p>\n<p>Work on yourself every day to your maximum ability. Always be honest, sharing and spiritually connected. Read\/Scan\/Listen\/Study the Zohar every day. Never miss opportunity to do good. Make donations every week, not once a month or once a year or when you feel like it. Break your tithe into smaller amounts so you can do it every week, developing the quality of sharing in you and expanding your soul. The Torah\/Zohar and the Light they radiate will grow within you on the spiritual and material level.<\/p>\n<p>After the 12 days, you don&rsquo;t take spiritual vacation, because there&rsquo;s no such thing. Challenges will come your way and the best way to successfully overcome them is by studying, praying and sharing.<\/p>\n<p>Setting &lsquo;order&rsquo; in yourself prepares your for the night of the Seder (Passover night) that is all about order.
