50. בָּכָה רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, פָּתַח וְאָמַר, (ירמיה מו) קוֹלָהּ כַּנָּחָשׁ יֵלֵךְ וְגוֹ’. כָּעֵת (כְּמוֹ זֶה) שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל בַּגָּלוּת, הִיא וַדַּאי הוֹלֶכֶת כַּנָּחָשׁ. נָחָשׁ, כְּשֶׁהוּא (בְּדִין) כּוֹפֵף רֹאשׁוֹ לֶעָפָר, עוֹלֶה הַזָּנָב, שׁוֹלֵט וּמַכֶּה אֶת כָּל אוֹתָם שֶׁנִּמְצָאִים לְפָנָיו. אַף כָּךְ כָּעֵת בַּגָּלוּת – כְּגוֹן זֶה הָרֹאשׁ כָּפוּף לֶעָפָר, וְהַזָּנָב שׁוֹלֵט. מִי עָשָׂה שֶׁהַזָּנָב יַעֲלֶה לְמַעְלָה, יִשְׁלֹט וְיַכֶּה? הָרֹאשׁ שֶׁמִּתְכּוֹפֵף לְמַטָּה. וְעִם כָּל זֶה, מִי מַנְהִיג אֶת הַזָּנָב וּמִי מַסִּיעוֹ לְמַסָּעָיו? זֶה הָרֹאשׁ. אַף עַל גַּב שֶׁהוּא כָּפוּף לֶעָפָר, הוּא מַנְהִיג אֶת מַסָּעָיו. בִּגְלַל זֶה, קוֹלָהּ כַּנָּחָשׁ יֵלֵךְ.
\n51. וְעַכְשָׁו, שְׁאָר הָעַמִּים שֶׁהֵם אֲחוּזִים בַּזָּנָב, עוֹלִים לְמַעְלָה, וְשׁוֹלְטִים וּמַכִּים, וְהָרֹאשׁ כָּפוּף לֶעָפָר, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (עמוס ה) נָפְלָה לֹא תוֹסִיף קוּם וְגוֹ’. וְעִם כָּל זֶה, הָרֹאשׁ הַזֶּה מַנְהִיג אֶת הַזָּנָב וְשׁוֹמֵר (וּמַסִּיעַ) אוֹתוֹ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שיר השירים א) שָׂמֻנִי נֹטֵרָה אֶת הַכְּרָמִים. אֵלֶּה עַמִּים עוֹבְדֵי כוֹכָבִים וּמַזָּלוֹת, שֶׁהֵם הַזָּנָב. בָּא רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, וְנָשַׁק יָדָיו וְאָמַר, אִלְמָלֵא לֹא שָׁאַלְתִּי דָבָר בָּעוֹלָם, אֶלָּא שֶׁשָּׁאַלְתִּי זֶה וְהִרְוַחְתִּי אוֹתוֹ – דַּי לִי, שֶׁעַכְשָׁו יָדַעְתִּי עַמִּים עוֹבְדֵי כוֹכָבִים וּמַזָּלוֹת וְשִׁלְטוֹנָם אֵיךְ מֻנְהָג. אַשְׁרֵי חֶלְקָם שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל, שֶׁעֲלֵיהֶם כָּתוּב (תהלים קלה) כִּי יַעֲקֹב בָּחַר לוֹ יָהּ וְגוֹ’.<\/div>\n

\nZohar Bamidbar<\/strong>
\nJeremiah 46:22<\/a>
\n“קוֹלָהּ כַּנָּחָשׁ יֵלֵךְ כִּי בְחַיִל יֵלֵכוּ וּבְקַרְדֻּמּוֹת בָּאוּ לָהּ כְּחֹטְבֵי עֵצִים”
\n“Her sound moves along like a Snake<\/a>; For they move on like an army And come to her as woodcutters with axes.”
\nRabbi Elazar cried and explained that when Israel<\/a> is in exile, they follow the snake<\/a>. His head is on the ground and his tail is higher, ready to hit those who are near by. The ‘tail’ of the snake<\/a> is the aspect of Malchut<\/a>, the ground, which is in control when we are in exile, which is the aspect of being far from the Light.
\nThe other nations of the world, are connected to and fed from the ‘tail’. When the Israelites<\/a> are in exile, the other side<\/a> is stronger and can inflict pain on them.
\nAmos 5:2<\/a>
\n“נָפְלָה לֹא תוֹסִיף קוּם בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל נִטְּשָׁה עַל אַדְמָתָהּ אֵין מְקִימָהּ”
\n“She has fallen, she will not rise again– The virgin Israel<\/a>. She lies neglected on her land; There is none to raise her up.”
\n‘Falling’ is the aspect of exile. The Zohar (Vayikra 78-81) explains that this verse reveals that we won’t have to rise by ourselves. YHVH<\/a> will raise us as it is written in Amos 9:11<\/a>
\n“בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָקִים אֶת סֻכַּת דָּוִיד הַנֹּפֶלֶת וְגָדַרְתִּי אֶת פִּרְצֵיהֶן וַהֲרִסֹתָיו אָקִים וּבְנִיתִיהָ כִּימֵי עוֹלָם”
\n””In that day I will raise up the fallen Sukkah of David, And wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the days of old;
\nLesson:
\nWhen we ‘fall’ into depression and distance ourselves from the Light, we allow the forces of the other side<\/a> to control us. We should raise our head and feel ‘taller’ in Malchut<\/a> with the Zohar and our elevated spiritual connections. This will let us be raised higher when the time comes.
