We have that when we read the portion of V&rsquo;Zot Habracha and on the death anniversary of Moses, the seventh of Adar (see our Tzadikim app).<br>\nThe Zohar above teaches us that after bringing 70 sacrifices to benefit the 70 nations of the world, God asks us to sacrifice on the eighth day one bull for the <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Israel&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Israel - The name that was given to Jacob after he overcomes the angel of the other-side (Genesis 35:10).The children of Israel, Israelites that have souls with the ability to connect to the three columns of the Tree of Life.Jacob, Israel is the center column, Tiferet that unifies the Right and the Left.Zeir Anpin is also called Israel because the middle point is Tiferet, Jacob connects upper Leah, and lower, Rachel.&#1513;&#1497;&#1512; - &#1488;&#1500;&#1497;&#1513;&#1512; &#1488;&#1500;&#1500;&#1497; - &#1512;&#1488;&#1513;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=israel\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Israelites<\/a> to have a special &lsquo;feast&rsquo; with him. &nbsp;That day is Simchat Torah.<br>\nAs opposed to all other holidays that we celebrate using connection to corporeal things like Sukkah, <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Shofar&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Shofar- Tekiah, Shevarim, and TeruahA shofar is a horn typically made of a ram&amp;#039;s horn, used for religious purposes, mostly during Rosh Hashanah services.Some blow the Shofar during Selichot in the month of Elul which is before Rosh Hashanah.The sound made by the Shofar is Tekiah, Shevarim, and Teruah.&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Shofar shapes:&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Shofar sounds&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;https:\/\/youtu.be\/pVfV09CDmus&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/?glossary=shofar\" data-gt-translate-attributes=\"[{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;data-cmtooltip&quot;, &quot;format&quot;:&quot;html&quot;}]\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Shofar<\/a>, Matzah, Simchat Torah is all joyful spiritual connection.<br>\nMay we all be blessed with all the blessings written in the Torah and be protected from the chaos of this world.
