Weekly Zohar Study

The Parasha (Story) of Matot is about healing and protection, like the other parashot of the month of Tammuz. In this parasha we can find the secret for true healing and for the successful coping with the challenges we are facing. Parshat Mas'ei gives us tremendous powers of correction – overcoming the Dinim (Judgments) and ascending to higher degrees of life. In Parashat Mas'ei we learn the secret of Shem ben Mem, Beit (The Name of 42 Letters) – the "Ana BeKo'ah" prayer, as an important tool for correction and transcendence.
