Vayigash – Weekly Torah Portion
The last portion of Torah ended with Joseph being accused and Judah pleads for Benjamin.
In the Zohar, the conversation takes place at night – in exile. So, the approach of Judah to Joseph is a beginning of a consent to go into exile, to go into the darkness night of the soul. Meaning they will be there, with everything that is yet to be reformed (in us).
They are discussing the fact that the creator left a space for reformation. If we reform down here, it will correspond up there. Therefore, we need to find the meeting point. Judah is explaining and teaching how we can bridge the two worlds. In the place that you don’t know.
They are looking for the connection between the upper and lower world. Saying, that this disconnection is the glory of the Higher of what is above and what is below. The fact that they need the meeting point, mirroring each other, its the glory of the Higher. What is important to the Creator – is the extension of Himself to the lower.
