101. בֹּא רְאֵה, רָאוּי הוּא דָּוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ לוֹמַר שִׁירָה בִּשְׁבִיל כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל יוֹתֵר מִכָּל בְּנֵי הָעוֹלָם, וְלוֹמַר דְּבָרִים שֶׁל כְּנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל לַמֶּלֶךְ, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהוּא אָחוּז בָּהּ.
\n102. דָּבָר אַחֵר לְךָ אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי – בִּשְׁבִילְךָ אָמַר לִבִּי לִבְנֵי הָעוֹלָם בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי, (אֶת פָּנֶיךָ ה’ אֲבַקֵּשׁ) אֵלּוּ זְמַנִּים וְחַגִּים שֶׁכֻּלָּם הִזְמִין לָהֶם לְמָקוֹם שֶׁנִּקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ, כְּדֵי לְעַטֵּר אוֹתָם כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד בְּיוֹמוֹ, כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד בִּזְמַנּוֹ, וְיִשְׁאֲבוּ כֻלָּם מֵאוֹתוֹ עֹמֶק הָעֳמָקִים שֶׁהַנְּחָלִים וְהַמַּעְיָנוֹת יוֹצְאִים מִשָּׁם. מִשּׁוּם כָּךְ כָּתוּב מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ, מְזֻמָּנִים הֵם לְאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם שֶׁנִּקְרָא קֹדֶשׁ, לְהִתְעַטֵּר בּוֹ וּלְהִשָּׁאֵב בּוֹ, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּתְקַדְּשׁוּ כֻלָּם כְּאֶחָד, וְתִמָּצֵא בָהֶם שִׂמְחָה.
\n103. רַבִּי אַבָּא אָמַר, מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ – זְמַנִּים שֶׁל קֹדֶשׁ. וּכְשֶׁמִּזֶּה הֵם מְזֻמָּנִים, הֵם מְזֻמָּנִים מִן הַנַּחַל שֶׁשּׁוֹפֵעַ וְיוֹצֵא. לְמֶלֶךְ שֶׁהִזְמִין בְּנֵי אָדָם לִסְעוּדָתוֹ, עִטֵּר לִפְנֵיהֶם בְּכָל מִינֵי מַאֲכָלִים שֶׁבָּעוֹלָם, פָּתַח לָהֶם חָבִית יַיִן, יָפֶה בְּרֵיחַ וְיָפֶה לְמִשְׁתֶּה. שֶׁכָּךְ רָאוּי, מִי שֶׁמַּזְמִין – לְמַאֲכָל וּלְמִשְׁתֶּה הוּא מַזְמִין. כָּךְ מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ – כֵּיוָן שֶׁהֵם מְזֻמָּנִים לִסְעוּדַת הַמֶּלֶךְ, מְזֻמָּנִים הֵם לְיַיִן טוֹב וְיָפֶה שֶׁמְּשֻׁמָּר. (כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שיר השירים א) כִּי טוֹבִים דֹּדֶיךָ מִיָּיִן) וְעַל כֵּן כָּתוּב מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ.<\/div>\n

Zohar Emor<\/strong><\/p>\n

#101
\nKing David is the chariot<\/a> for Malchut<\/a> and as such, he is the best one to praise the Holy King with songs and have unification with Zeir Anpin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#102
\nPsalms 27:8<\/a>
\n“לְךָ אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי אֶת פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָה אֲבַקֵּשׁ.”
\n“When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, YHVH<\/a>, I will seek.””
\nThe Zohar brings another explanation to this verse and tells us that ‘Seek my Face’ is an invitation from YHVH<\/a> to connect to Zeir Anpin<\/a> (literally means ‘small face’) on days of the holidays. During these days Malchut<\/a> can ascend to the upper three sefirot of Zeir Anpin<\/a> that are Chessed<\/a>, Gevurah<\/a>, and Tiferet<\/a> of Zeir Anpin<\/a>. This level is called ‘Holy’ because the upper three of Zeir Anpin<\/a> receive the light of holiness from Father and Mother<\/a> above.
\nLeviticus 23:2<\/a>
\n“דַּבֵּר אֶל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם מוֹעֲדֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר תִּקְרְאוּ אֹתָם מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ אֵלֶּה הֵם מוֹעֲדָי.”
\n““Speak to the children of Israel<\/a>, and say to them: ‘These feasts of YHVH<\/a>, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.”
\n‘Holy convocations’ is the aspect of the holidays and events during the year when we are able to connect and receive the Holy light<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#103
\nRabbi Aba says that ‘These feasts of YHVH<\/a>’ refers to the holidays of Passover that is Right and Chessed<\/a>. Sukkot is Left and Gevurah<\/a>, and Shavuot is Center and Tiferet<\/a>. They bring the Light from Chokmah<\/a> (Father) and Binah<\/a> (Mother<\/a>) to Zeir Anpin<\/a>.
\nThe Light from the supernal<\/a> Father and Mother<\/a> that brings holiness to Zeir Anpin<\/a> has the aspect of eating and when this light continues down it has the aspect of drinking wine.
\nReceiving the Light in Malchut<\/a> has the aspect of the meal and it is called the “Queen’s Feast” because the Holiness from the supernal<\/a> King that is food and drinks comes down to nourish and strengthen the Queen in Malchut<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lesson;
\nWe ‘upgrade’ the meals of Shabbat and Holidays to support the connection to the holiness we receive on these days.
\nShabbat is our best holiday because we are able to connect to holiness every week.
\nThe meals of Shabbat and holidays help us manifest the light revealed on the spiritual level to the material level
\nWe make three meals on Shabbat that have the aspect of “Holy, Holy, Holy” (Daily Zohar # 3336 – Emor – Three steps to holiness).
\nEach meal connects us to a different spiritual level and the Zohar explains it in Zohar Yitro from paragraph #444 on.
\nWe read these Zohar texts during the three meals to establish a better connection. See the PDF below.
\nIt’s good to prepare a nice dinner table for Shabbat with a special table cover, preferably white or light color. The food to be prepared with the consciousness that is made for the holiness of Shabbat. Two Challahs, cover, Kiddush cup, Plates, flatware, and anything on the table should be as it was prepared for the most honorable guest.
