The Torah is not just knowledge but a sacred entity that demands purity and alignment with the covenant to access it properly.<br>\nIn our times, many non-Jews are drawn to the study of the Torah, and this often indicates that their soul has an inherent connection to the Israelite soul. Those who seek to study Kabbalah for material gain, however, are naturally unable to connect to its holiness, as their soul is not attuned to the spiritual depth of the Torah and Zohar. A non-Jew who feels a genuine love for sacred studies is very likely to possess a Jewish soul. This inner connection is often accompanied by a desire to formally convert to Judaism.<\/p>\n<p>{||}<br>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column]<br>\n\t\t\t[\/et_pb_row]<br>\n\t\t[\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/parashot\/audio\/dzp-4680.mp3\">Click\/Touch here to listen to the Daily Zohar<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21\" title=\"Daily Zohar Pinchas-4680 Scanning from right to left top to bottom\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.dailyzohar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/parashot\/images\/dzp-4680.gif\" alt=\"Holy Zohar text.

It is forbidden to join with them or speak with them concerning the matters of the Holy One, Blessed be He, and it is not permitted to teach them words of Torah. This is because the Torah is entirely the Name of the Holy One, Blessed be He, and every letter in the Torah is connected to the holy Name. Therefore, anyone who is not marked with the holy Name in their flesh must not be taught the words of the Torah. All the more so, it is forbidden to engage with them in Torah study.\r\n\r\nNotes:\r\nThe passage reflects the deep reverence for the Torah and Hashem's Name. It upholds a clear boundary around transmitting divine knowledge, reserving it only for those who have entered the sacred covenant through circumcision. Doing so safeguards the sanctity of the Torah and the higher connection it represents.\r\nThis teaching reinforces the idea that connecting to the covenant (through circumcision) is essential for engaging in the sacred studies of the Torah, as it ensures that one is spiritually prepared and aligned with the holy.\r\n\r\n#297\r\nRabbi Shimon opened with the verse: \"\u05d6\u05b9\u05d0\u05ea \u05d7\u05bb\u05e7\u05bc\u05b7\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05e1\u05b7\u05d7 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc \u05d1\u05bc\u05b6\u05df \u05e0\u05b5\u05db\u05b8\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b9\u05d0\u05db\u05b7\u05dc \u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\" \"This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat of it.\" (Exodus 12:43). And it is written, \"\u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc \u05e2\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05d3 \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1\" \"And every man's servant...\" (Exodus 12:44), and it is written,\" \u05ea\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e9\u05c2\u05b8\u05db\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b9\u05d0\u05db\u05b7\u05dc \u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\" \"A sojourner and a hired worker shall not eat of it.\" (Exodus 12:45). And if the Passover offering, which is merely meat for consumption, and because it alludes to something holy \u2014 that is, because Hashem passed over the doorposts (in Egypt) \u2014 it is forbidden for all these (foreigners and non-circumcised) to eat of it or for one to give it to them to eat until they are circumcised. The Torah, which is the Holy of Holies, which is the supreme Name of the Holy One, Blessed be He \u2014 how much more so is it forbidden to teach them?\r\n\r\nNotes:\r\nRabbi Shimon points out that if something as simple as the Passover meal, which is physical food, is restricted due to its spiritual meaning, then certainly the Torah, which is infinitely holier and directly associated with Hashem's supreme Name, should be even more guarded. The Torah, described as \"the Holy of Holies,\" represents God's divine wisdom and essence. Hence, it is inappropriate to share the Torah's teachings with those who are not spiritually aligned with its sanctity, specifically those who have not entered into the covenant through circumcision.\r\n\r\nRabbi Shimon draws a parallel between the restrictions on who may partake in the Passover offering and who may engage with the Torah, underscoring the need for spiritual readiness and sanctity before interacting with the divine. The Torah is not just knowledge but a sacred entity that demands purity and alignment with the covenant to access it properly.\r\nIn our times, many non-Jews are drawn to the study of the Torah, and this often indicates that their soul has an inherent connection to the Israelite soul. Those who seek to study Kabbalah for material gain, however, are naturally unable to connect to its holiness, as their soul is not attuned to the spiritual depth of the Torah and Zohar. A non-Jew who feels a genuine love for sacred studies is very likely to possess a Jewish soul. This inner connection is often accompanied by a desire to formally convert to Judaism.\r\n\r\n{||}\r\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[5],"class_list":["post-54820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-zohar","category-general","tag-zohar-portions","parasha-acharei-mot","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Daily Zohar # 4680 - Acharei Mot - Who can eat the &#039;sacred food&#039;
