On this day we complete the process started on Rosh Hashanah. The ‘verdict’ and the shape of the coming year is defined, written, and about to be sealed and executed. The last opportunity to change it is on the night of Hoshana Rabbah because just before the end of the morning prayer, the books are sealed and ‘broadcasted’ to all levels to execute the plan for each individual.
\nThe best way to close the last year and start a new one in a better way is to dwell in the study all night or at least until after midnight.
\nWe read the entire book of Deuteronomy, the entire Idra Zuta, and the book of Psalms and give Tzedakah if we didn’t give enough between Rosh Hashanah and Hoshana Rabba. Tzedakah saves from death!
\nDeuteronomy is the last book of the Torah and represents Malchut<\/a> and the ‘seal’ of the Torah. It also represents the manifestation of the blessings God gave us through Moses. Moses passed away at the end of the book and as we learned, the passing of Tzadikim help with our cleansing process.
\nThe Idra Zuta is the last teaching of Rabbi Shimon. It connects us to the spiritual opening that is available on this night. Rabbi Nissim Peretz of righteous memory tells us that the secrets of father and mother<\/a> revealed in the Idra Zuta are the aspect of the ‘seal’ at the night of Hoshana Rabba.
\nThe Idra Zuta describes the passing of Rabbi Shimon and his ascend with great honor. 70 righteous souls opened a channel and welcomed him to the heavens. His merits help us in sweetening the judgments that we may have in our life. Moses was one of Rabbi Shimon’s teachers in the Zohar.
\nPsalms are written by King David, who is the aspect of Malchut<\/a>. He taught us humility and trust in YHVH<\/a> in all of our actions. Psalms give us tremendous power of manifestation in the world we live in and because of that, we read it only during the daytime or after midnight.
\nIt’s better to start with Deuteronomy at night before midnight then continues with Idra Zuta and finish with Psalms. It’s a lot to read and we should do our best to connect and ‘taste’ from the three books as much as we can.
